I Drank The Kool-Aid™

[Wheeler, Kyle Bruce]

Hi everyone,

Our repo is officially git-ified, and it has all of the code in it that it always used to. With git's history-editing, I tidied up a little of the branch stuff for older releases (e.g. 1.5).

There are innumerable git howtos on the web. There's a quick svn-mercurial-git table that shows the equivalents of the basic svn commands on this page: http://blogs.atlassian.com/2012/02/mercurial-vs-git-why-mercurial/
The Trilinos folks have some quickie documentation as well, available here: https://software.sandia.gov/trilinos/developer/git.html
And finally, a git crash course designed for folks used to svn: http://git.or.cz/course/svn.html

For those who work on qtCnC, the way this works is rather unexpected, but should work quite nicely. What you do is to create a clone of the qthreads repository, and then switch to the qtCnC branch (those words may mean something different to you, but hang with me). So, for example:

git clone https://code.google.com/p/qthreads qtCnC
cd qtCnC
git checkout qtCnC
ls

Presto! Anyway, that arrangement should make it easy to spawn qtCnC off into its own project when the time comes. You can do a similar thing, with the "graphics" branch, to see the pdf files and such for the logo.
