AfCYet another bad day trying to use Git.05:48
bob2it's not so complicated nowadays05:48
AfCbob2: I just discovered Git is incapable of tracking empty directories. #lame05:49
bob2yeah05:49
bob2it tracks files and symlinks only05:49
felipecAfC: at least it's capable of tracking more than one branch06:04
bob2all useful vc systems can do that though06:07
felipecbob2: and by branch I don't mean a repository06:07
bob2yes I know what a branch is06:08
bob2are you whinging about bzr-colo not existing or something?06:08
felipecbob2: I don't know what bzr-colo is, but I meant that bzr branch != git branch, more like git clone06:09
bob2ok!06:10
bob2anyway, bzr-colo or just use git06:10
felipecI'm looking at bzr-colo, and it looks like it's more like mercurial branches... still not the same06:11
bob2it's not06:11
felipecorigin/master <- that I like06:11
lifelessfelipec: bzr-colo is nearly identical to git's model of branches06:12
lifelessits not at all like mercurial06:12
bob2I think that's a complaint about branch identifiers not the branch model06:13
felipeclifeless: so, I can have master, devel, feature-a, origin/master, origin/next, bob/master, alice/feature-b, etc.?06:13
lifelessfelipec: yes, they sit in a subdirectory of off the root06:14
lifelessand AIUI can have arbitrary names06:14
felipeclifeless: it's not about the name, it's about tracking a remote repository06:15
felipecit looks like there's support for a single remote repository, or workspace... I guess that's better than nothing06:17
lifelessfelipec: each branch tracks a remote branch06:17
lifelessfelipec: and there is a (not optimised) plugin to track entire repos06:17
lifelessgluing the two together should be fairly easy, if you want to do that06:18
felipecall right, my git-remote-bzr is looking good :) http://pastie.org/517994206:21
AfCYet another bad day trying to use Git.08:19
AfCI just discovered `git status` writes a file somewhere08:20
AfCUnreal08:21
bob2are you running it over fuse08:22
AfCbob2: no. It's .git/index.lock that gets {..., CLOSE_WRITE, CLOSE}.11:29

Wiz_KeeDhey guys16:55
Wiz_KeeDif i made a commit and i would like to change the title of the commit...how do i do that?16:55
jelmerWiz_KeeD: bzr uncommit && bzr commit17:04
Wiz_KeeDaww i have to uncommit :(17:07
Wiz_KeeDi have to revert to that revission17:07
Wiz_KeeDuncommig17:07
Wiz_KeeDcommit17:07
Wiz_KeeDthen head back17:07
jelmerWiz_KeeD: yep - you can't really edit existing revisions, just create new ones17:24
Wiz_KeeDheh17:25
Wiz_KeeDthanks man17:25
Wiz_KeeDi'll be more careful then17:25
maxbIt would be quite nice to have a 'bzr commit --amend' that implicitly based its parent revision on the parent-of-the-parent and preloaded the old commit message in the editor17:28
jelmerindeed - there is a bug report open about that I think17:30
SamB_MacG5okay, what the heck ... I have to deal with stale locks on *launchpad* now?18:21
jelmerSamB_MacG5: only if connections actually got interrupted, etc?18:48
SamB_MacG5jelmer: I don't know how it came to exist, really ...20:58
SamB_MacG5but it was like a hundred days old20:58
* SamB_MacG5 doesn't check his cron mail very often ...20:59
* SamB_MacG5 thinks the SVN protocols ought to add a FAST-EXPORT <path> type of command ...22:41
fullermdIf we just replace all SVN usage with some DVCS or other, we can bypass that whole problem   8-}22:43
SamB_MacG5yeah, but while people are still using various DVCSes with SVN repositories ...22:44
* SamB_MacG5 discovers debianlp:; doesn't remember seeing that in the bzr docs ...23:03
felipecjelmer: I was able to import/export to/from bzr without bzr-fastimport: http://pastie.org/518607723:47
felipecstill missing a few features, but not bad for a couple days of work :)23:50
