I prefer git-svn can provide environment to launch a external
application to input password like open ssh.

how about users who are authenticating over http with basic and
digest? How does one go about launching an external app for password
input in those cases?

Please don't take this as a criticism of your personal preference. I
believe this feature would make things convenient for users who want
it - those who don't, nothing changes.

Even ssh (via ssh-keygen) lets you specify the passphrase at
command-run time. Others include htpasswd, htdigest...

There are not problem if run git svn clone from console.
But a gui application, such tortoisegit, launch "git svn clone" and
capture git svn clone output.
If passwd needed, git svn clone will read character from console but
GUI application don't know that and wait git svn output.
So there are dead lock till timeout and fail.

The same problem has been happen at ssh.  But OpenSSH provide a
option, environment SSH_ASKPASS, which point to a application. when
passwd need, openssh launch this GUI application,  user can input
passwd at this GUI application.

The basic requirement is git svn can provide a way to prompt a dialog
box to input passwd.

Yeah, it's a very basic use case, but I don't know whether there is a
workaround for it somehow, maybe perl gurus or git svn users could
help more...

My company, where there are windows users (95% of the company), would
like to use TortoiseGIT as a graphical client for SVN server
repositories as an SVN client, no other way by us, so it'd be high
priority :) So I've got a beer for any volunteer, thanks :P

Unfortunately I have been unable to debug this further.




Git works flawlessly in this setup with another branch of the same SVN
repository but I have not been able to pinpoint which revision or what
else that can be wrong here.

Is this error introduced with the recent release of Git?
Is there some mismatch between Git, Svn, Perl, or Sqlite?

Grateful for tips or hints.

Hi, this is my revised proposal for git. I was unable to find a public bug
list, so I couldn't specify which bugs I would attempt to fix in the project
schedule. I apologize for this coming in a bit late, I had classes and an
interview today, so I just got back home.

Thank you!

We haven't applied yet, but I think we are planning on it. Getting our
application started is on my to-do list this week.

Hello folks,


 Just want to confirm that this is not a bug:

 <code>
 bunde.c: 443

  printf_ln(Q_("The bundle requires this ref",
                                      "The bundle requires these %d refs",
                                      r->nr),
                                   r->nr);

 </code>

 seems to be missing %d parameter on the first message.
 Please let me know if this is a bug or if it indeed should be like this.

 I am not a expert on gettext :-(

 Thank you!

Perhaps visit

	http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html#Plural-forms

look for "In the English singular case,..." and read the
explanation there?

Got it!

From the recommended site:

--
In the English singular case, the number – always 1 – can be replaced
with "one":

          printf (ngettext ("One file removed", "%d files removed", n), n);
This works because the ‘printf’ function discards excess arguments
that are not consumed by the format string.

Junio, thank you so much for the  reply and link to the docs.

Hello Junio

          Thanks for the quick review and I apologize for the poorly
constructed code. I am
new to open source and git, and that was my first time coming across
the git source
code so I hoped to submit a working patch first, with the intention of
amending it later since
I did not really understand the requirements. With your clarification
and getting my self
familiar with the git commands, I hope to submit an accurate patch.

Thanks

Hi,

I have tried to repro this issue but git goes out of its way to store
the commit messages using unix end-of-line format.
I think that git itself cannot create a repo exhibiting this problem.

Most helpful would be if you could create a mini repo using gitlab.
All it would need is one file, two branches, and a merge.
With that in hand, it should be pretty easy to track down the problem
and fix git.

You mentioned that the previous version you were using was working
fine, can you tell me which version that was?
It'll help to narrow down the changes that could have affected the issue.

Thanks,

Atousa

From what I could Google around, this seems to be (Inno Setup?) 
installation related issue...?

Do you already have "Git for Windows" installed? If so, does it work 
if you try uninstalling it first?

Hi Buga,

That solved my problem.  I apparently had enough cruft left over from a 
hard disk issue for Windows to think I still had a copy of Git 
installed.  when I got rid of it, the new version installed with no 
problems.

Thanks again,

No problem, it was more of a lucky shot, but glad it helped :)

I have no idea why it claimed that that group does not exist, the email

Indeed.

That is a workaround, correct.

I think a much better place is the Git for Windows bug tracker (if you
ever wonder where the bug tracker is, or the home page, or the repository
or the FAQ, there are links in the upper left of the release notes --
which probably nobody reads, even if I really try to make them worth the
while -- and which you can find in C:\Program Files\Git\ReleaseNotes.html
if you closed the tab after installing Git for Windows).

And indeed, there is already a ticket for this issue:
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/1074

The original reporter did not respond to any questions, maybe you can do
better, Phil?

Ciao,
Johannes

I suspected the culprit was me not being a member of the group, where 
the group requires it for (initial?) posting (but you already noticed 
that other e-mail about it there[2], this is more a follow-up for 
anyone here, still wondering).

I myself am aware of the tracker, just that I didn`t really 
anticipate this as a Git for Windows bug, seeing various mentions 
around the net pointing to Inno Setup (being in use here as well).

That said, I see the logic in thinking the other way around, too, and 
possibly addressing it somehow inside Git for Windows, in spite of 
what happens on Inno Setup side. At least working around it a bit 
better, if possible.

I can remember to keep an eye on the tracker more often, just in 
case, as that would have clearly helped here. Thanks for the heads-up.

My case seems similar although it may be different.  I originally had 
Git installed on my C: drive.  A hardware upgrade moved that drive to 
E:.  I was able to link everything back and to run Git Bash (IIRC).

A few weeks later, the E: drive got sick.  The repair shop I went to was 
not able to restore much, but in the course of changes took my DVD drive 
out of the boot sequence which changed the E: drive to D:.  I was able 
to restore most of my files from an external herd disk backup, but the 
backup was from when the disk was C:

I could not run Git when I tried, so I downloaded the latest version 
from git-scm.com.  This failed to install with the  "The drive or UNC 
share you selected does not exist or is not accessible. Please select 
another" error.  I was puzzled because the installation code had not 
asked me to select a drive.  Following Buga's suggestion, I tried 
uninstalling Git.  I believe Windows said it could not find the 
uninstall information, but it did remove Git from the list of programs.  
I also removed Git from the start menu.  The installation then succeeded.

Best wishes,
--Phil

Hi all,

I just stumbled over following page

https://git-scm.com/about/distributed

and was wondering if it is possible to

- demilitarise that “dictator/lieutenant” thing and
- de-religionise that “blessed” thing

I did not had the feeling that git is “pro military”, or is against
“non religious” developers/users.

Thank you very much,

Senol Yazici

I think there is a point here. In some of my customers, we have replaced these terms with the following (the Repository is optional in the second two):

* Blessed: Repository of Record
* Dictator: Committer [Repository]
* Lieutenant: Contributor [Repository]

This seems more closely aligned with the real roles being applied to activities associated with the repositories involved.

Taking a lesson from other Open Source projects, Jenkins has deprecated Master/Slave in favour of Controller/Agent. This seems not only more acceptable to some, but in my view more descriptive. The terms on the page above do not actually make any descriptive sense to a newbie. And confusion could ensue from the dictionary definitions:

* Lieutenant: an aide or representative of another in the performance of duty : assistant (not what that repository is for)
* Dictator: one holding complete autocratic control : a person with unlimited governmental power (not how the git team behaves)
* Blessed: honored in worship : hallowed; of or enjoying happiness (although I can see the happiness part of this one)

Regards,
Randall

Those are valid concerns, and I value your feedback.

It would probably be a good thing to change this, and you can even do it
yourself: create a Pull Request to change this file:

https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/blob/master/app/views/about/_distributed.html.erb

Looking forward to your enhancements,

Curious, where are the sources for the PNGs saved? I did not find any obvious vector or art project files.

Not all people can afford stable network connection...
I'm now suffered from connection lost and have to restart the clone/push fully.
It's OK when dealing with a project of several MB size, but when I try
to clone a 2GB sized repo I never succeed.
So I wonder, if there should be some way to resume from break-point for git?
For example what if we support something like Content-Range in http,
and make the download be split into smaller files, then make some way
to auto-resume if some file block failed hash-check?
