-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Repository migrated to Git Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2013 19:43:33 +0000 From: Graeme Geldenhuys Newsgroups: tiopf.development,tiopf.support,tiopf.general Hi, As discussed some months ago, I have finally made the move. After various attempts, to see what is the best possible solution, I found something that works. Due to our very odd SubVersion repository layout, it made the migration rather difficult. Anyway, you can checkout the new repository as follows: git clone git://tiopf.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/tiopf/tiopf This will create a 'tiopf' directory will the repository inside. Note: tiOPF users that have read-write access to SubVersion must use the following syntax to get read-write access to the Git repository: git clone ...replacing [username] with your SourceForge username. It will download +-19MB. You will then have the main tiOPF repository that contains 4 branches. master - contains nothing, but a readme file. This is equivalent to what Trunk (in SubVersion terms) would be. But that is just a guideline. Due to the nature of the migration, we will not be using this branch for development work. tiopf1 - Contains the tiOPF version 1 code. No history because there was none, when did the conversion from Team Coherence to SubVersion, many years back. tiopf2 - Contains the tiOPF version 2 code, with all its history. tiopf3 - Contains the tiOPF version 3 code, with all its history. Once you cloned the repository, git will leave you in the 'master' branch. To switch to another branch, simply run: git checkout <branch_name> eg: git checkout tiopf2 or git checkout tiopf3 I've also decided to split the old SubVersion repository into multiple Git repositories as follows: tiopf - the main source code repository, as described above tiopf_docs - the unit and class documentation tiopf_3rdparty - a snapshot of the latest code of the 3rdParty directory. I noticed that tiOPF3 also has a copy of this. I might remove that later. This will not be maintained, and hopefully later get phased out. Most of those components are rather out of date already. tiopf_apps - this will contain the support apps of tiOPF. Things like the tiSQLEditor, our old Mailing List software etc. tiopf_website - the HTML source for our website. tiopf_scripts - Build scripts (not 100% sure if this is still needed) At the moment I only have the 'tiopf' repository done. The others will follow in the next few days. I'll soon post a short message showing the basic usage of git, and a small typical workflow. There are 1000's of great articles and free eBooks on Git though. To get started with git, you only need about 5 git commands, and can learn the rest if and when needed. Many Windows users will probably opt for TortoiseGit, but that is not required, as the official Git install includes excellent command line and GUI tools as standard. The Windows installer also asks if you want Windows Shell integration for the GUI git tools.

I'll ask SourceForge to mark it as read-only soon. Then after a few months, we can remove it completely. Regards, - Graeme - ----------------------[ end ]-------------------------
