Hi all, I´m following the steps outlined in Tim Davis´ blog for setting up GIT with copSSH on Windows (http://www.timdavis.com.au/git/setting-up-a-msysgit-server-with-copssh-on-windows/) but I´m having problems. I´ve gotten up to step 15 under the Installing Putty instructions but rather than getting a "Enter Login" message, I´m getting ...
Has anyone come across a Git or Hg plugin for "meaningful" diffs/merging/branching of OpenOffice or Microsoft word files. I know I can 'checkin' .doc files but both Git and Hg treat them as binary blobs. I'd like to be able to do all (or at least many) of the normal revision based operations on the text of the file. And yes, I do know...
I feel like I tried everything to clone http://thechaw.com/source from git with no success.

I've cloned the Official GCC git repository, which includes a full GCC development history, but git branch -r lists only a few recent branches, and 'git tag' reports no tag. git fetch --tags didn't help. git svn fetch will recreate tags/branches that were in SVN, but will take about 10 days to complete. I know I could use SVN directly...

When I clone our svn repo using git svn i pass it arguments to tell it where the head, branches, tags... etc are and it pulls the main code base properly. in addition to trunk and branches we also have directories for: the website, and one for 3rd-party apps the build system a bunch of others. How do I get git-svn to pull these a...

Hello, I am trying to move one of my Subversion repositories to Git and am running into an interesting error...

Say I have revision A that's from a long time ago and made a desirable change. Then, later on, I had revision B which made lots of changes to lots of files, including wiping out change A. Now, much later, I want to re-apply revision A. Is there a good way to do this? The merge and cherry-pick commands seem to skip revisions that are ...
Do you (and your team) back up your local checkouts of your DVCS (Git, Mercurial) repository between pushes? How do you do so? If your hard drive were to fail after writing a bunch of code that was not yet stable (therefore not yet pushed), how would you get it back? ...
I have a repo where I'm seeing behavior that I don't understand. Ill refer to the repo that this is occuring on as the 'bad repo', all of the following sequences were run on that one. It doesn't matter what commit I reset to, same conflicting behavior. The files it reports as conflicting seem to be the ones that were changed in the co...

My current workflow is to checkout the commit through its hash git checkout 79cd6 But what I would like is another branch where I can perform my own ch...
Hi, I am new to Git and I am using it to backup an iPhone project I am working on. I have added a list of files that Git should ignore (xcode files) when I update, but this .perspectivev3 (which is in my .gitignore) file keeps showing up when I go to commit my changes. Does anyone know why this is, or what I am doing wrong? Thanks, Zac...
