Pressflow-6 and Pantheon-Mercury on GitHub (updated x2)

Submitted by on

In the past year I've discovered two things:

  • The revision management system Bazaar (aka "bzr") is an occasionally flaky little thing and I've experienced several crashes doing mundane tasks. I much prefer using Git or even Subversion as they've proven to be rock solid in my use of them over the years.
  • The Drupal fork Pressflow has a lot going for it.

git-svn *does* work on Windows!

Submitted by on

Huge thanks to the msysgit team for their hard work, because after some testing I've discovered that their git/git-svn port does work, whereas trying to get it working under Cygwin is a quite broken right now. Got git it!

Note: You need to get the Git-1.5.5-preview20080413.exe release if you want to try git-svn, the Git-1.5.6.1-preview20080701.exe release has a broken git-svn.

git-svn is currently broken on cygwin

Submitted by on

While trying to get git-svn to work on cygwin I came across a bunch of problems. As it turns out there are some problems with subversion-perl that ultimately cause git-svn to fail. Unfortunately it could be another few weeks before this is fixed as the maintainer of that perl module is on vacation. Argh.
