On Windows 7, from reading hginit.com, it seems like it is very easy to set up a Mercurial server? mkdir repo cd repo hg init hg serve and that's it? Now http://localhost:8000 is the server. It seems that it is quite a bit harder to set a Git server up, either for Cygwin and mysysGit? Git for sure will make it simpler, maybe just n...
I'm trying to configure Git to use Plink, now for some reason this option isn't available to me I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Git a hundred times I can't get to this option ...
I recently read Scott Chacon's post "Smart HTTP Transport", and I was hoping that it might have become possible via IIS (windows 7) since that post was written. I haven't been able to find anything showing how it can be done, and Apache is not an option in my IIS 7 based environment. So, I'm at a loss (git daemon was foiled for me by a c...
Due to some funky permissions on our client's side that we can't change, we have a project whose hierarchy looks something like: projectname/trunk: foo/, bar/, baz/ projectname/branches: branch1/, branch2/ (where branch1 and branch2 each contain foo, bar, and baz.) The thing is, I have no permission to access trunk, so I can't ju...
Hi, at the moment I'm merging a very large project and unfortunately I have lots of conflicts. After merging some files I realized that I made merge errors in a specific file and now it is marked as resolved. How can I unresolve it in git in order to merge it again. I tried git reset --hard -- myFile.txt but it doesn't work. Regards,...

Since I created my repository it appears that the tags I have been creating are not pushed to the repository. When I do git tag on the local directory all the tags are present, but when I logon to the remote repository and do a git tag, only the first few show up. What could the problem be? ...
Migrating from Subversion to Git using svn2git (which internally uses git-svn) I'd like to know how I can find a specific revision commit. It is quite common to have issues tracker to have comments like: "Fixed in r12345". Given this, I'd like to be able, for example, to extract the diff corresponding to r12345. Thanks in advance. Re...
I would like to run a compression script before git push such that anytime a user tries to push changes to a remote repository, it checks for uncommitted changes in the compressible assets, aborts git push, runs git commit, then runs git push again. Is something like that possible using only git hooks? ...
I made a commit of my repository a week ago but never actually pushed it to the remote at github, which I did today. However, in the time from my commit I made many changes to the source. But just the initial commit was pushed to remote and while doing it, it also overwrote my local files. What can I do to get back my current files?? ...
Hi, i ran the following 2 commands to clean up .pbxuser and .mode1v3 files from my git repository, but afterwards when i e.g. fire up gitx i can still see them in the history. git filter-branch --tree-filter "git rm -rf --cached --ignore-unmatch *.pbxuser" HEAD rm -rf .git/refs/original/ && git reflog expire --all && git gc --aggressiv...

I have configured numerous .gitignore files to filter out many different unwanted files from a set of about 6,000 untracked files. I want to do 'git add .' when I've got my filtered list looking the way I want it. But, then I want to disable the .gitignore filters temporarily to see what got left behind, and make sure there was nothing ...
I have 6,000 untracked files in one subdirectory and I'm constructing .gitignore files to filter out the unwanted ones. I'm testing my gitignore filters as I go by running 'git status'. However, I have a larger number of untracked other files in a different subdirectory, so 'git status' shows all of those too, which makes it very hard t...
