git format-patch emits patches that are ready to be emailed

is the "fork" you mention for 4b1 the same as a clone?

The specific "forking" I was referring to is a Github feature.

ok

We can quickly try it out, it is really simple.

But if you have a look at
http://github.com/earl/r3-hostkit

You will see that at the top there is a link "forked from rebolsource/r3-hostkit".

When you look at
http://github.com/rebolsource/r3-hostkit/network/members

Whoops, I'm being called to dinner. Will be back in a while, and 
will check that out.

You'll see that Github lists all "forks" there.

Enjoy!

bye for now

Brian, the only trouble with letting git do the line ending normalisation 
is that it is a bit troublesome. It's generally easier to just have 
git not touch the line endings at all and use a properly set-up editor 
instead.

Oh, I was used to Hg just doing that without the problems. Can we 
reject submissions that don't have the right line endings?

Yes.

And I assume every major C/C++ compiler on Windows can handle LF-endings 
with no complaint.

We only have to support one that does.

Is there a pending proposal to fix git's line ending munging so it 
works properly, like Hg's?

Useful git guide: www.sourcemage.org/Git_Guide

Shows examples of many commands. In FAQ format.

A few examples there are a bit out of date, though.

For example, git-update-index is no longer needed to resolve merge 
conflics. You'd use git-add instead.

And in the "advanced usage" examples, a few commands have been simplified.

A question: for new releases, should I push to my carls repo, the 
rebol sandbox, or r3-hostkit ?

Asked another way: how does r3-hostkit get updated?

Do we always pull into it?

I would push into rebol/r3-hostkit for now.

(Which does not yet exist.)

The rebol/sandbox is just if you want to play around a bit with Github.

We'll probably just delete that afterwards.

Of course you can also create a repo under your carls user for playing 
around.

Another question: do you normally access github from git? Do you 
ever use the web interface?

You hardly need to use the web interface.

Good to know.

Is there a command for renaming files?

git-mv

If I remove a file from my repo, then I push . does it remove it 
from the target repo?

If you remove with git-rm, then create a commit with git-commit, 
then git-push: yes.

If you remove with something else, you'll still need to create a 
commit for that remove.

What is the reason to use git-push vs git push ?

(and other cmds)

That's just a convetion I use to refer to commands.

When I say git-push, you actually writ e `git push`.

But if you want to know more: man git-push

Well, I must say... I am impressed so far. There are a lot of "nice 
touches"

I'm sure you'll be even more impressed when you dig deeper.

It is so _extremely_ simple at it's core :)

Yes, and I want to make sure that the R3 Git Guide that we'll post 
shows that this is very simple to do.

I think many people have gone to use SVN and will resist a bit using 
something new.

Of course, in the worst cases, they can just use the zip/gz file 
downloads for read access.
