pull
 fetches and also updates your working copy

Ah, sync might actually try to upload something, or simply delete 
my own files?

TortoiseGit's Sync dialog is basically one dialog with both pull 
and push in it. Pretty easy if you need to do either or both.

IMO Sync is just a shortcut - green icon shows from master to client. 
In main context menu, I can seee - Sync, Commit, TortoiseGit in the 
main context menu git section

OK, thanks ... so - if all devs are going to use it, that's it? I 
can sync anytime, and have official RT endorsed R3 sources?

Pull, yes.

The URLs will probably change, but besides that, that's it.

Pekr, why you didn't choosed the download I was recomending and choosed 
the Tortoise? Btw.. isn't it just enough to go here: http://github.com/rebolsource/r3-hostkit
and click the big DOWNLOAD button?

Hard to see why there's so much stress over  the Windows tools - 
they all work quite well.  - TortoiseGit, Cygwin Git, msysgit, etc

I suppose it's the usual anxiety people have when asked to learn 
something new

but really, Git is not hard to get going under Windows

(-> "Source control", please.)

(Also, any replies to Adrian into "Source control", please.)

I installed TortoiseGit some time back, but Explorer started crashing 
soon after (XP x64 here) so I uninstalled it and the crashes stopped. 
I'll try it again.

Andreas, I'd like to assemble a doc for git github access. Just a 
rough draft, if I can get your comments.

http://www.rebol.com/r3/docs/git.html-- just a starting point to 
add to

updated

The doc is being updated every few mins.

Ok, my part is done. Need someone to fill in the blanks. If you post 
the URLs here, I'll update the doc.

BTW, if we miss doing it today, it may need to wait until Thurs.

I collected my earlier notes here: http://www.rebol.net/wiki/Git_Notes

Has all the URLs.

Great

I would add a note that getting a Git version >= 1.6 is strong recommended.

(The CLI has improved quite a bit in 1.6.)

The official site for Git is http://www.git-scm.com/(if you want 
to add a link).

Has a list of download links on http://www.git-scm.com/download

related to the "CR/LF behavior", it it possible to get info about 
actual setting?

The actual settings are core.eol, core.safecrlf, and core.autocrlf

Documented in git-config(1) or here:
http://www.rebol.com/r3/docs/git.html

Sorry, wrong link. Here:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-config.html

I suspect what the msysgit installer does if you choose the "use 
windows style line endings" option is setting core.autocrlf to true.

But I didn't yet confirm this. Someone who installed with this option 
could do so by looking at the output of "git config --list".

Andreas: How would I apply for commit access to the host-kit? I would 
like to be the Amiga-specific maintainer of course.

Just fork the repository and maintain your changes there.

And have Carl merge them over when he feels they are ready.

So Carl (REBOL Tech) would be the only ones doing merges to the baseline?

Yes.

Gotcha :)

Unless Carl wants to relegate that final quality control to someone 
else. Possible as well. But not what I'm currently assuming.

This process should probably be documented as well (if not already 
done)

Everyone should hold off on uploads until after A110. That will be 
the official starting point.

autocrlf is true for me. I used the default option (Windows endings 
on checkout).

First this process will need to be developed :)

Yes, I will be the mergemaster.

Gregg, are any of the other options I mentioned listed in the git 
config output as well?

But, Andreas is the gitmaster, etc.

Not sure what you've mentioned, but here is my config output:

core.symlinks=false
core.autocrlf=true
color.diff=auto
pack.packsizelimit=2g
help.format=html
http.sslcainfo=/bin/curl-ca-bundle.crt
sendemail.smtpserver=/bin/msmtp.exe
user.name=
user.email=
core.autocrlf=true
core.safecrlf=false

Ok, thanks Gregg!

(So if there's something going on WRT github, and I'm not around, 
Andreas can handle it.)
