I have installed the latest MSysGit 1.6.3 preview and TortoiseGit 0.6.2 on my Windows XP PC. I also have created a --bare repository on my server which can be access through http (using WebDAV as authentication system). I can successfully log into my server's git repository from a browser. I have created a local repository on my PC and ...
I have public repository at github.com with 2 branches : "master" and "test". I created new dir locally and did: [ ] git clone [email protected]:{username}/{projectname}.git Then i created new branch named "my_test" with [ ] git branch my_test and switched to it. [ ] git checkout my_test Then i merged it from my "test" branc...
Do any version control systems allow you to specify line level security restrictions rather than file level? I know it would be horrible to maintain. If I wanted to never allow certain strings into the database should I be looking into the notion of hooks and manage all the very sensitive information in that hook layer? How do hooks g...
Recently my main machine i use for development started overheating. I started to get 4 5 lockups per day. Everything freezes. All my projects are under version control using git. I remember watching linus's talk at google saying git will ensure that the files are not corrupt. In my situation is it safe to assume that git will warn me if ...
We're considering migrating from CVS to GIT. Our whole development process is centered around IntelliJ, and the plugin we've found (GIT4idea) is severely lacking. Essential features, like global history logs or diff changes are completely missing. Are there any other alternatives in IntelliJ land? And, if not, which current Java IDE do ...

OK, so I have a Django project. I was wondering if I'm supposed to put each app in its own git repository, or is it better to just put the whole project into a git repository, or whether I should have a git repo for each app and also a git repo for the project? Thanks. ...
I'm using msysgit and have a project tree that contains many bin/ folders in the tree. Using the .gitignore file in the root of the project I need to ignore all .dll files that reside within a bin/ folder anywhere in the project tree. I've tried "bin/*.dll" but that doesn't work, I assume it is only working against the bin/ folder in t...
Hello, I've just installed gitoreous here, but I'm having problems creating new repositories. I configured it to create them in the /home/git/ directory, and the it's already 777. When I create a new repository, it goes to "This repository is being created, it will be ready pretty soon…" and keep showing this forever. I started the git...
I have a git repository with two branches; one for code that's used for manufacturing/test and one that's the actual production firmware (they're nearly identical). It's now time to cut a release to send to the manufacturer, so I naturally want to put down some appropriate tags on both branches. But, it seems that git won't let me put ...
I have recently decided to take the git plunge, and am really enjoying using git, even on Windows. My current open source project lives on subversion, all devs are familiar with subversion so I would like to keep subversion as the "source of truth" for now. Nonetheless, I want to use git, so I went ahead and created a copy of the sou...
I accidentally made 10 commits on branch "testing" when I meant to make them on branch "master". The other commits on the "testing" branch are garbage, so I don't want to merge it with "master". Instead, I just want to replay the last 10 commits on master. ...
I'm using git-svn and there are IDE project files in the svn repository. Everytime I start my IDE it modifies project files a bit and they are marked as changed in the status display. And then if I try to do a git svn rebase to update my working tree to have the latest changes from the svn it fails as I have local modifications on the pr...
I have a working copy repository that I've been working in no problem; the origin for this repository is on GitHub. I'd like to make my working copy repository available as the origin for my build machine (a VM on another physical host), so that commits I make to my working copy can be built and tested on the build machine without hav...
To follow up on my previous question Git work flow with an inexpirenced member. I choose to have him send patches to me. The problem is i haven't used patches before and i can't find tutorials giving explanation on the work flow. What i want is have him pull the latest code from the repo. create a branch work on it commit his changes wh...
I am struggling with a perceived conflict between tracking all my changes so I can figure out where I broke the code yesterday, and having a controlled (high overhead) code review process that keeps things sane. I work in a very traditional ClearCase shop. All checkins require code review and I lack the authority to create private bra...
