[Scilab-Dev] Git migration

[fvogelnew1 at free.fr]

Hi,

Is there some information somewhere about how to use the new GIT system? I mean
something specifically targeted to using GIT for Scilab.

I would have expected this page to be updated, but you didn't seem to have time
to do so:
http://www.scilab.org/download/index_download.php?page=SVN

On the wiki I could only find this page explaining how to generate the key:
http://wiki.scilab.org/GIT/GIT_under_Windows?highlight=%28GIT%29

This is fine but is not what I'm looking for.


Also, a straightforward procedure about how to merge my local SVN changes into
the new GIT system tree would be appreciated. Since your main interest in GIT
(and Linus' main one too) is to ease merging (not branching, yes I watched
Linus' show too), this must be easy. Please explain how to do it with GIT. Gving
half a day notice before SVN closure, you must obviously have thought about it.

Thanks,
Francois
