Scribblings for a cogito/git tutorial

Scribblings for a cogito/git tutorial

[Horst von Brand]

I've also been asked around here for a cogito+git tutorial, to that end
I've made up a script that simulates several developers interacting.
Hacking around is simulated by patching, ed(1) scripts (merges don't turn
out the same diff every time), and plain copying new files in. I've set up
a GPG key with an empty passphrase (comment is "Experimental") to have
signed tags, etc. in a convenient manner. The idea is to create interesting
histories (for browsing) and show off the commands in a compact way. If
only there was a convenient way to run a strech of the (bash) script, look
at the results, and then resume...

Comments, suggestions, patches are welcome! 

Repository of the script and supporting files is at
<http://pincoya.inf.utfsm.cl/Script.git>

I can't read it.  Seems to be a recursive trick.

Or did you mean to do that?

Latest cogito + latest git here clones it without problems over the 'net
(from home, via ADSL).

I might have set it up wrong, but it doesn't look that way.

Dear diary, on Mon, Oct 17, 2005 at 05:04:54PM CEST, I got a letter

Thanks, it's very nice! If you don't mind (actually, is it / can it be GPL?),
I added it to Cogito as Documentation/tutorial-script/ .

Certainly, I realized later that I didn't clarify the license. It's on my
TODO list ;-)

I'm also thinking on changing the octopus example into one that works and
clean up some stuff. And perhaps make Bob into a diehard git user, for
contrast.

I'm honored.

It seems you got the whole history of the script into cogito's history. Is
that right?

Nice idea to show all the angles - although for Cogito I think I will
stay with pure Cogito (wherever possible), no need to scare the users...
;-))

Nope. I couldn't just merge (like gitk-in-git) since I needed to move
the files to a subdirectory, so I would have to do that manually. And I
decided to just flatten it since it was just two revisions, after all.
