Re: Using Git
On thing I can't understand is why the commit list on Gitorious didn't simply number the commits in the list. Not the same as revisions I know but it would have simplified referring to a particular commit.
That's due to Git's distributed nature. Imagine me pushing a series of (older) commits the moment you are referring to, say, revision 1583. Suddenly, as I pushed older commits, too, it becomes revision 1585.
That's why revision numbers don't work in Git.

Re: Using Git
Fair enough. They could have implemented some more user friendly labelling system though e.g. labelling a commit as Franz(39) or whatever.
The only thing worse than finding a bug is knowing I created it in the first place.

Re: Using Git
CVS and GIT have this problem about revision number, i feel when the world using GIT they make backward step.
However, I think GIT server must has a Remote ID for every commit, done by hooks or similar thing.

Re: Using Git
msysgit works great for me.
To have git ignore files, simply add them to the .gitignore file in the root folder.
(BTW - .gitignore should probably itself be included in the .gitignore file)

Re: Using Git
I don't like the idea of installing some software to track the changes.
Just want to go to the website and see the changes.
But http://gitorious.org/fluxbb/fluxbb/commits/master is good enough so I will try to get used to it..
fortunately the VCS is (mainly) for developers, not for users, so your opinion doesn't have a big importance.

Re: Using Git
Hey devs,
3+1 questions (the first three are related) :
1) How can i see if there is diffs (with date and file infos at least) BEFORE launching a pull ?
2) Is there a command to see what files will be affected BEFORE doing a "git pull" ? (pretty the same question as 1, just differently answered).
3) How can i found locally my last pull's date ?
4) Is there a way to do a "git pull" excepting one file (or several ones) ?

Re: Using Git
To answer number one and two:
Either you check the Gitorious commit log or you execute
git fetch
That command only fetches the changes without committing them to your repository so that you can preview them.
