A SVN repo I use git-svn to track was recently corrupted and a backup was recovered. However, a week's worth of commits were lost in the recovery. Is it possible to recover those lost commits using git-svn dcommit on my local git repo? Is it sufficient to run git-svn dcommit with the SHA1 of the last recovered commit in SVN? eg. > svn i...
I'm writing a LaTeX document in vim, and I have it hard wrapping at 80 characters to make reading easier. However, this causes problems with tracking changes with in version control. For example, inserting "Lorem ipsum" at the beginning of this text: 1 Dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus bibendum lobortis lectus 2 ...
Many data analysts that I respect use version control. For example: http://github.com/hadley/ See comments on http://permut.wordpress.com/2010/04/21/revision-control-statistics-bleg/ However, I'm evaluating whether adopting a version control system such as git would be worthwhile. A brief overview: I'm a social scientist who uses R...

It is often said that, you should not rebase commits that you have already pushed. What could be meaning of that? ...
Ok heres my situation. I have a website project that has more than 50,000 unimportant files (to development) in some directories. /website.com/files/1.txt /website.com/files/2.txt /website.com/files/3.txt /website.com/files/etc.txt The stuff in /files is already in the repo. I want to delete all the files in /files on my local copy b...
I have a Rails website which has been divided into two separate projects - the public site, and the administration site. As both sites are using the same database the models are shared between the applications (actually right now they are duplicated). The problem I have here is that when an update to the models occurs in the public proj...
Hey, I changed several things over the last hour and committed them step by step. But I just realized I've forgot to add a changed file some commits ago. The Log looks like this: GIT TidyUpRequests u:1 d:0> git log commit fc6734b6351f6c36a587dba6dbd9d5efa30c09ce Author: David Klein <> Date: Tue Apr 27 09:43:55 2010 +0200 The...
I have a git-repo and need only the authors of a specific file. I can extract the authors from the git-blame command, but is there an easier way to get only the author names of a file? ...
I have a production website where master is checked out and a development webiste where I develop in feature branches. When a feature is merged into master I do this on the development site: (currently on the new-feature branch) $ git commit -m"new feature finished" $ git push $ git checkout master $ git merge new-feature $ git push ...
EDIT: If you downvote my question have a decency to say why. In Pro Git Ch9 the author says: Git normally creates a tree by taking the state of your staging area or index and writing a tree object from it. My question is how does git know which of two consequitive index entries to create the Tree object from? For example (the ran...
I need to transfer lots of small files to a remote computer within my java program. I was wondering if somebody could suggest the best way to do so... I need to transfer lots of small files and it has to be really fast. Should I use some existing protocol implementation? maybe ftp? One important thing is that most files would be the sam...
At work, development uses perforce to handle code sharing. I won't say "revision control", because we aren't allowed to check in changes until they are ready for regression testing. In order to get my personal change sets under revision control, I've been given the go-ahead to build my own git and initialize the client view of the perf...
I'm trying to use git-p4 to clone perforce depot. I keep running into a problem in the git-p4 script, where git-p4 tries to access a dict key that is not defined and throws a trace.

If I compile branch A, then switch to branch B, compile, and switch back to branch A. All the object files touched by the compile of branch B have to be recompiled! Normally one does not check-in object files, but there seems little choice here. What are the ideal working practices here? ...

I read that Git mainly add informations about the repository's history, trying to remember every change made, but that there are also commands that make irreversible changes. What are the commands that I should really pay attention to and avoid to use wrongly because there is not turning back? ...
I'm wondering whether the merge=union option in .gitattributes makes sense for .pbxproj files. The manpage states for this option: Run 3-way file level merge for text files, but take lines from both versions, instead of leaving conflict markers. This tends to leave the added lines in the resulting file in random order and the user shoul...
I have a repository that I freshly cloned from github. The address is git://github.com/JoshClose/CsvHelper.git if you want to try this out. I am using tortoisegit, but will use the command line to fix this if need be (I might need my hand held a little for that). The log looks like this: * 0.11 | | * master origin/HEAD origin/master ...
