[avr-libc-dev] [bug #44993] Switch to git

[Markus Hitter]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #44993 (project avr-libc):

Yes, Git makes some things different and after using it for a while one can
learn it makes these things better. One can learn that merging is evil and
rebasing is a godsend. Entirely different workflow.

Admittedly, that's not exactly obvious to people who are used to an
unchangeable history and have nothing but merging at hand, so they've never
seen the concept of topic branches at work.

That said, avr-libc is very matured, so the number of experimental branches is
low (zero?) and topic branches aren't urgent.

To the bug opener: git-svn handles a Subversion repo just like a Git repo
locally and works very well, so it's entirely fine for following avr-libc and
also for preparing patches for it. Something like

  git svn clone http://svn.savannah.nongnu.org/svn/avr-libc

should get you started. Initially it takes a while, but after that it's a fine
tool.
