Neither CVS nor SVN required a server in the sense that there had to be a daemon listening on a port somewhere -- CVS could directly operate on a shared directory, and SVN had multiple backends including file://, [url]http://[/url] and svn+ssh://. But they did require a "server" in the sense that there was a centralized repository somewhere that did the revision control and you use a client to checkout a fragment of that to do work and all your interactions were relative to that server. Contrast that with a DVCS like git, where your local copy of the repository is a complete history of the project (ignoring things like shallow clones and git-lfs), and all your interactions are relative to your local clone. And then on top of that your local clone might have relationships to other repositories and you can use your repository to modify those other repositories.

I was able to get Eclipse and GIT talking again, and backed out the merge. I then did the rebase I should have done in the first place. Everything is looking good, other than one jsp file that lost some changes, but it looks like I should be able to redo changes easily. Thanks everyone, I list find CVS easier to use, but I expect Git will become easier over time.

I want to directly note here that git can also push and pull to a shared directory.

Do anyone have a favorite tool to follow a git history along a specific branch, and easily view complete diffs for the changes? Preferably with a way to only view merge commits to the branch and commits directly on the branch. (Use case: I have a few months of changes to a repository I'd like to review. Most are developed in feature branches.)

Preferably with a way to only view merge commits to the branch and commits directly on the branch. In general, the logging option you're looking for is --first-parent. https://stackoverflow.com/a/10248421 My favorite Git UI is Magit, which is an Emacs package. Using this, you can just hit l-l (lowercase L twice) and see the history of only the current branch, or l-o and type a branch name (with Tab to autocomplete) to see the history of a different branch. The --first-parent option is hidden by default, unfortunately, but you can set "transient" levels to reveal more advanced options like this one.

Has anyone here used Fossil? I'm liking what I read about it so far, and I might use it on some side projects to see how it goes. If anyone has any experience with it, or any major disadvantages to watch out for, I'm all ears!

If anyone has any experience with it, or any major disadvantages to watch out for, I'm all ears! I've used Fossil for a couple of private projects, and while I really like the philosophy of tracking the project rather than code, I realized that my workflow relied too much on rebasing for me to be truly comfortable with it.

If anyone has any experience with it, or any major disadvantages to watch out for, I'm all ears! And while I say "love it", that's really more a holistic statement in that I find Fossil's basic DVCS functionality unobjectionable in general as a baseline (and with better UI/UX at the command level than Git, but YMMV), the robustness of the underlying SQLite file format, and then on top of that I get all of the rest of the end user functionality in terms of the web interface, bug tracking, wiki, all-in-one executable, etc., etc. That really seals it for me. (I should probably say I'm a very basic user of Git, if that matters. And of course I use Git because I have to if I want to consume and/or work with other projects that use it; but this is an old gripe of mine from back in the CVS days: you will eventually have to learn every VCS that at least one project [that you interact with in that way] uses. And yes, for me at least, this still does include CVS. Anyway, as for personal preferences: besides Fossil I also use Darcs too.) minidracula fucked around with this message at 06:37 on Apr 11, 2024 |
