Hello, I would like to use the git pre-auto-gc hook but it doesn't seem to be invoked at all. The file is executable and I tested it with git 1.7.1 and 1.5.6.5, neither of these seems to work as expected (they're not invoking the script when git gc --auto is run). Does anyone of you know something about it? Maybe I need to setup somet...
Assume we have a repository and 5 commits: commit 1 commit 2 commit 3 commit 4 commit 5 And now I realize commits 4 and 5 are a bad idea. I want to completely remove all changes committed in commit 4 and 5. How to do it? ...
I'm writing a script that makes some trivial changes and then commits them to git. Because these are trivial changes, I want to do git commit --amend whenever I can get away with it -- specifically, when an amend won't "mess up" any other branches' history. If an amend would mess up another branch, I want to do a standard git commit inst...
The Players I've been using git and gitosis for some months now, and am really loving both. Unfortunately, I have run into a problem accessing one of my projects with gitosis. The Set-Up I set up my git and gitosis installs on a hosted server account running Debian. I also set up four computers (two Ubuntu, two Windows) with separ...

I am new to Git. I installed msysgit, configured ssh and pulled a solution from GitHub (my own solution, I pushed it from a different computer). The pull worked. Now, I installed tortoisegit to make life easier. It displays the correct items in Windows Explorer. I would expect a "pull" and push entries in the context menus, but I can'...
The mingw site is kind of confusing and the installation instructions convoluted. I had been using the codeblocks distribution of mingw.I had also tried the development environment that comes with octave. But the msysgit netinstall seems to work better out of the box for building most things that require: ./configure ; make ; make instal...

Hi, I did a 'git fetch' and then a 'git pull --rebase'. It is trying to merge changes from the remote branch to my local branch. And there are some merge conflicts. So I did a 'git reset --hard'. My question is it is possible for me to ask git pull to take the remote change whenever there is a conflict? Thank you. ...
I'm a bit puzzled why I'm unable to checkout a tag directly from the git clone command. What I try to do is: git clone -b mytag <url>/foo.git The error I get is: warning: Remote branch mytag not found in upstream origin, using HEAD instead Tag is present and e.g. cd foo && git checkout mytag ...works well. If anyone could sh...
Hi, cloning an svn repository into git is easy with git-svn. However, I need to do it the other way round. I have a git repository lying around and want to import it into an empty (except from trunk, branches and tags folders) keeping all the commit information.

Hello everyone, I'm trying to do a fancy stuff here with Git hooks, but I don't really know how to do it (or if it's possible). What I need to do is: in every commit I want to take its hash and then update a file in the commit with this hash. Any ideias? ...
I have a basic question about Git: Let's say there is subdomain git.mysite.com with git installed in it. My actual site is on mysite.com. How do I tell Git to "release" a specific or latest commit to mysite.com? I use MediaTemple(gs) for my hosting. Site is in /domains/mysite.com/html and Git is in /domains/git.mysite.com/html/mysite.g...
I'm trying to get started using git. Our project is in a directory with a base development system. I've got it set up great for myself, but I can't get the files over to my collaborators. We can't do a git clone since it has to clone to an empty directory. I tried initializing a repository in the dev directory on one of the systems, ad...

Is there a standard way to list all the commits made by others (i.e. not myself) in a git repository? I tried git log --not --author=username, but it would appear that --not only applies to revisions. The manpage for git log doesn't appear to offer a way to invert predicates like --author. (I use git-svn at work, and want a way to see ...
