[RFC] Aging Platforms

[Tectu]

I wouldn't have nightmares anymore and could finally sleep well again when Giovanni would move to git

this book looks pretty good http://git-scm.com/book and has (partially) Italian translation

[Tectu]

I can confirm - This is the best git book I know. Afaik badger read the same.
Giovanni might wanna check out chapter 8.1 -> git svn

Should Giovanni spend his time learning a new revision control system, or writing code? It seems that if git has an interface to a subversion repository, then all the rest ought to be able to git to their heart's content already.

Besides, everyone knows that hg/Mercurial and emacs are clearly the correct choices.

[Giovanni]

Well, I gave it a try but it failed to interest me after the first 30 minutes of failed attempts to just get the repository started.

Mainly, I am still unable to see the added value over subversion.

Giovanni

[Tectu]

Giovanni, at which point did you fail?

And inmarket: completely wrong! Everyone knows that git and vi is the way to go

[Giovanni]

Setting up the SSL keys and stuff.

Now it works but still I don't see advantages, I think I'll stay with SVN for the main repository.

Giovanni, the advantages come in when you develop in branches - it's really very natural thing to do in git.

Giovanni, you are on windows?

This is a nobrainer.

Matureing well.

Giovanni,
1) I have created mirror of svn repo https://sourceforge.net/p/chibiosgit and added you to admin group.
"Trunk" branch is called "master". It looks ugly and suitable only for experiments with git. I am not a git guru, probably Mabl can create
much nicer mirror.
2) https://sourceforge.net/p/upgrade?search=chibios can this automatically update chibios project to git with all history and bugtracker tickets?
