[pkg-otr-team] summary of the 'git is better than quilt' talk

[Antoine Beaupré]

More resources about git-dpm:

 * homepage: http://git-dpm.alioth.debian.org/ - has nice graphics
   explaining the branch workflow - not ascii art, but almost :P

 * review: http://www.painless-security.com/blog/2010/11/02/review-of-git-dpm 
   - fun quote:

     "In conclusion, git dpm is a sharp tool. Actually, I think that’s
     understating things. Git dpm involves a bunch of rotating
     blades. You stick your face and foot between the blades, and if you
     use it correctly, there’s exactly enough clearance that nothing
     gets damaged and you get some fairly neat results. Other outcomes
     are available. I’m still trying to evaluate if it is worth it."

 * wiki page: https://wiki.debian.org/PackagingWithGit/GitDpm - explain
   some design decision

 * some comparison with gitpkg: http://www.cs.unb.ca/~bremner/blog/posts/debcamp12/
   - involves git filter-branch, to give you an idea

So yeah. I would let this simmer for a while personnally. I'd be more
interested in simplifying my workflow with dgit at this point.
