can't get amp to work with git

[Patrick Aljord]

Hi all,

amp works great with hg, when I try the binary with git, it fails though:

Any idea why?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Pat!

Well, git support isn't there just yet, so any tinkering you do is appreciated but not yet supported. We're working on git support and if you check out the latest version of our code, you might not run into this bug.

Our repository is hosted at http://bitbucket.org/carbonica/amp/src - if you still have this bug with the latest version, please open a ticket at the bitbucket.com tracker.

Thanks!

Our latest version has some odd bugs in hg. Using it is not advised.

Hey Michael,

I thought it was working because I was told yesterday that it was
supported but maybe there was a misunderstanding :)

I tried the latest version and now I get that:

Yeah, misunderstanding. I thought you were referring to Hg support. FYI, the current head is busted for Hg, so don't try to use that.

Ok thanks good to know. Is there any ETA on git support for read-only
operations? I asked a few months ago and I was told soon but it's
still not there. I understand that it's a lot of work so I'm not
complaining or anything :). By the way, did you think in using grit?

Thanks in advance, Pat.

yeah, we were young and naive back then.

we're looking to do an overhaul of amp, separating interface from implementation. We both have a lot of work to do right now, but we're hoping to get things together soon.

We really owe you one for being so damn patient. You see, we started working furiously on getting git support in, but then we realized holy shit it was harder than we thought.

Grit is good in the meantime, but it shells out, which is what we're looking to replace.

ETA for git read-only support? 40 days.

This may be the first realistic estimate we've given for a deadline. It also happens to line up exactly with the end of my internship. Thanks for the pressure, Ari!

Just kidding. We'll do it.

[Patrick Aljord]

Ok, thanks for the quick answer. I'll check back in 40 days!
