[Quilt-dev] Converted to git; version 0.48

[Andreas Gruenbacher]

Hello,

to make working with the quilt repository more enjoyable, I have switched from 
cvs to git. The entire history has been preserved. You can reach the 
repository at http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/quilt.git for browsing, or 
you can clone the repositore as follows for anonymous access:
  
  git clone git://git.savannah.nongnu.org/quilt.git

For write access to the repository, as with cvs previously, you have to 
register your ssh public key in your Savannah user configuration. After that, 
clone the repository with:

  git clone ssh://address@hidden/srv/git/quilt.git

The git repository is identical with the latest version of the cvs repository, 
with the following changes (you will see those changes in the topmost 
commit):

 * I have converted the .cvsignore files to .gitignore.

 * The tarball name that "make snapshot" produces will now be similar to what
   you get with "git describe --tags", e.g., quilt-0.47-9-g039329a.tar.bz2,
   quilt-0.48.tar.bz2, quilt-0.48-dirty.tar.bz2, etc.

 * I have tagged the initial git tree is version 0.48.

From an anonymous, read-only user, little changes except that "git clone" is 
necessary for the initial checkout, and from within the checked-out git 
repository, "git pull" will fetch the latest upstream version. (Git goes a 
long way beyond that of course; http://git-scm.com/documentation is a good 
place t start reading.)

I have disabled cvs in the project configuration. Checked-out versions of the 
old repository still appear to be functional though, I hope that will stop 
soon: otherwise, I'll ask the Savannah admins to disable the old cvs 
repository so that people won't falsely assume that they have the latest 
version.

Regards,
Andreas
