Hello Comer,
Concerning the development version, when will it be possible to do git pull to get the latest dev version? I use and contribute to one or two other software projects that use github and would hope since ET has or is moving to git that the usual methods of cloning various branches would be standardly available. So, what can you say about when this will be possible from bitbucket.org?
In case you only want to update a single part of the checkout to the development version, eg. one of the ExternalLibraries (they are still in subversion and will likely stay because git does not handle large binary blobs of data like the tarballs very well) you can do:
cd arrangements/ExternalLibraries/HDF5/ svn switch '^/trunk' svn update
and for git based repos
cd repos/flesh git checkout master git pull
you can use the regular git pull and svn update commands in the repositories. There is also an update (-u) option to GetComponents however it may switch branches again since the thornlist specified the release branch.
Yours, Roland
