[Pkg-isocodes-devel] Repository conversion from svn to git

[Tobias Quathamer]

Hi all,

back in August, I've started to convert our Subversion repository to git. 
After some time off, I've now finished that task. I would like to get some 
feedback about the repository. Is everything as expected? Can you checkout and 
commit? The URL is currently meant as a testing area, please feel free to 
commit, tag, branch, merge, and push anything you want. If everything seems to 
be alright, I'll do another clean conversion from the latest SVN data and 
upload that repository for serious work. Please find below some pointers to 
get you started:

Clone the repository with write access
$ git clone ssh://<user>@git.debian.org/git/iso-codes/iso-codes.git

Create your debian branch
$ git checkout -b debian --track origin/debian

Switch back to master branch for updates
$ git checkout master

Tell git who you are
$ git config user.name "Your name"
$ git config user.email mail at example.org

Work as usual, then commit
$ git commit -a -m "changelog message"

Push your changes and new tags to alioth
$ git push
$ git push --tags

Get changes from other developers
$ git pull

Tag a new release (please use a signed tag and
a message like "iso-codes 3.6")
$ git tag -s iso-codes/3.6

Merge release into debian branch and create a new debian release
$ git checkout debian
$ git merge master
$ dch
$ git commit -a -m "new debian release"
$ git tag -s -m"Debian release 3.6-1" debian/3.6-1

Regards,
Tobias
