Thanks for the super awesome post! They should try and make it a little more difficult to create a remote branch.

seriously what the hell.
ever tried “git help” ? you will probably find that the 170 different commands mostly merged from “git-something” into “git something”.

Do i need 0.02 $ for this? where do i get those?

Dan: Whoops! I fixed the typo. DataMapper behaves like I would expect, thanks!

I just checked the DataMapper example above, and the last statement returns false with the edge DM.

FWIW, I agree with you in the above case.

In DataMapper we decided that by default objects should be compared based on their public attributes values, not internal bookkeeping values. This is true even in cases where the two objects may refer to the same record in the datastore.

Here’s a link to the relevant specs we have: http://bit.ly/4cE7EZ

Although I wouldn’t say the conversation is spiraling out of control. It appears to be reasonably civil, but I understand how it could appear that way when you have a strong opinion of how something should work. I’ve certainly been involved in discussions that didn’t feel good at the time, but looking back they weren’t that bad.. in reality these types of discussions are good for the community because it gets people to pay attention to the details.

click170 is right, David. You completely leave out how the Subversion repository was setup, the OS-specific instructions for installing Subversion, and the instructions for installing the OS on my machine. Please stop writing half-assed blog posts.

click170: Good point: if you don’t have a piece of software, you do indeed need to install it before you can use it for fun and profit. You do realize, however, that not everyone uses apt-get?

Did you completely forget that you have to apt-get install git-svn or did you just intentionally leave that out?
How about putting some attention into your blog posts and being thorough, makes for a less frustrating read when someone’s trying to follow your half-ass instructions and you’ve entirely missed a step.

all good, but my problem was still this:

having pushed the branch to the remote, the other machines were still unable to see this new branch using git branch -r

so for those of us for whom this was not obvious: git branch -r lists the remote branches that are currently known. git fetch will fetch the branch information from the remote

git fetch

From ssh://123.45.67.890/home/moi/gits/gitpo
* [new branch] pullproxy -> origin/pullproxy

moi:~/gitpo$ git branch -r
origin/HEAD
origin/master
origin/pullproxy

now I can:
git branch -f pullproxy origin/pullproxy

and check it out:
git checkout pullproxy
