The vger.kernel.org lists have various spam detectors, and I suspect a 
combination of your email address and the signature you use just triggers 
that system to believe that you are trying to sell us house payment plans 
or something..

So I would suggest removing your signature in particular, that points to a 
web-site that is associated with an industry that has over-used the email 
medium for selling their services...

I do not know if stratus has regex libraries anywhere, but googling for 
"VOS Stratus regex" seems to be saying that this isn't the first time that 
platform has had problems compiling various programs.

I suspect you'd just have to compile one of the regex libraries that are 
out there as source. I think Henry Spencer's libraries are likely the 
canonical ones, but there's a "GNU regex" too, and that's probably the 
basis for the ones that are used in glibc. Dunno.

Google for either of those, you'll find them. It's not new code, but I 
doubt it needs to be ;)

Johannes, at the moment I'm chased by a huge storm of never ending emails, 
so I won't be able to follow up this one soon. A smart 3-way merge is in 
my plans for LibXDiff though.
There is quite some nice code around, that does pretty smart tricks and 
goes down to resolve sub-hunk non-trivial conflicts. You may want to take 
a look at that code too.

No, I mean rebasing instead of merge. As in, you have a history like
this:

    /--C---D  <-- your master
A--B
    \--C'--D' <-- cvsimport merge tip

where "C" and "D" are your commits in git, and C' and D' are pulled in
from cvsimport. You want to rebase your work like this:

A--B--C'--D'--C--D

except that git-rebase is smart enough to realize that C == C' and skip
it (so it's a "safe" way of moving forward).

Correct. Rebasing doesn't really handle merges, but I assumed you were
just making simple commits on top of a cvs master.

Then my suggestion doesn't really work. You might consider using git as

Resolve the conflicts by either hand-editing the files (you'll see the
markers where the conflicts are) add running 'git add' to tell git that
you're done resolving them, or set up Git to use a graphical tool like
kdiff3. When you're done, run 'git commit' to create the merge commit.
After that you'll be able to push to your upstream (unless things have
moved again while you were resolving the initial conflict).

This guide to merge conflicts looks pretty good:

These bits (minus the initial "From ..." line) should go into your
actual email headers. As it is, your email has no subject line.

It's not extraneous. hashcmp() returns 0 for equality, but an arbitrary
positive or negative value depending on how the two arguments differ.
The assigned "new_submodule_commits" is a bitfield of size 1. So the
"!!" is normalizing the value into "0" or "1".

The description on https://github.com/git/git doesn't reflect that policy.

a)
It explains that discussions take place in the mentioned mailing list.
b)
It describes how to subscribe.

With knowledge of other mailing lists (mostly managed by mailman),
subscription is required for participation.

However it doesn't say that you have to subscribe to send, only
how to subscribe.

That depends on the mailing list, some require subscription to
prevent spams but not all do.

Somebody might want to update the documentation, but personally
I see no reason to change anything. If you want to send a patch
to improve it, that would be great of course.

For that matter, we also say "everyone is welcome to post", which
makes it clear that no subscription is required.

But I view these merely being technically correct.  And making it
absolutely obvious does not cost too much.

Yes.  But not many people realize that the world they know is the
only world.  We are used to an open list and are shocked when we
encouter a closed one; let's not forget that shock.

It's unclear what that means. I *think* it means "consider taking a look
around the list before you post", but then it's probably better advice
to tell people to skim the archives first to get an idea of the traffic.

E.g. if I page through the first 2 pages of public-inbox.org I get
messages going back to the 19th, but if I were to subscribe to the list
I'd need to wait 4 days to get the same mail.

Which, in the context of what this follows (how to submit a bug,
questions etc.) isn't a good use of time for the person reading the
instructions.

Maybe something more like:

You perhaps already read it, but you may want to steal wording or
suggestions from the mailing list section at:

  https://git-scm.com/community

which is covering the same ideas (and vice versa, patches to that page

OK, so... Ævar's version does not mention:

 - text/plain, which is a very good addition.

 - note about CC in a way as useful as the "community" page does,
   which may want to steal from the latter.

 - the archive, but it may not be needed in the context of this
   document.  "Read the archive to make sure you are not repeating
   somebody else said before speaking" is something we silently wish
   everybody to follow, but it is something we do not want to say
   out loud, especially to new people.

 - Windows, but I am not sure if it is necessary or even healthy.
   One thing I would rather not to see is the Windows mailing list
   becomes the first line triage place for any and all issues that
   were experienced by a user who happened to be using Windows, and
   majority of the issues turn out to be unspecific to Windows.  I'd
   suspect that all of us rather would want to see the referral go
   the other way around.

Otoh, "community" page does not encourage subscription as a way to
ensure you'll see follow-up discussion, which may be a good thing to
add.

A tangent I just found funny is this paragraph on the "community"
page:

    The archive can be found on public-inbox. Click here to
    subscribe.

Of course clicking does not take you to a subscription page for
public-inbox, even though the two sentences appear to be related.

Perhaps swap the order of the two, like so, with a bit richer
explanation taken from Ævar's version:

	... disable HTML in your outgoing messages.

	By subscribing (click here), you can make sure you're not
	missing follow-up discussion and also learn from other
	development in the community.  The list archive can be found
	on public-inbox.

FWIW: "adviced" is misspelled, it should be "advised", and IMO, it
feels like poor style to begin a sentence with a contraction. Not
strictly wrong, but sufficiently informal that I think it is out of
place in docs like this. Better to just say "It is", or even just "You
are", especially as you use "you" later in the sentence.

I actually think simplifying that sentence considerably is preferable:

"To be sure you receive all follow-up mails you should subscribe to the list."

flows better and is more succinct than

"It's advised to subscribe to the list if you want to be sure you're
not missing follow-up discussion".

Yeah, I think that's a good suggestion. Do you want to phrase it in the
form of a patch? :)

Hello Furkan,

Welcome to the community. Pro Git is not maintained by the git
community, but is a separate project.

You can find details on how to provide translations here[0]. It looks
from that document that someone started translating the book in Turkish
as well[1].

Kind regards, Kevin

You need to send this to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. Sending it to the
git mailing list will not do a lot.

Very exciting, and thanks for your work on this. I haven't taken a
close look at the code yet, so I'm sure taking this further involves a
much more careful examination.

I know that Christian Couder (who you CC-d on this thread) was also
working on this for either GitLab or Booking.com.

Christian -- are you still working on this for either one of those
entities? If so, is there some way to unify these two efforts?

Yeah, I started working on this last year for Booking.com, and I am
now slowly working on it for GitLab. It is not yet finished because it
has been low priority work.

I took a very quick look at Han-Wen's implementation and it looks very
different from mine from the outside. It seems more complete, but
might be less integrated into the Git code base.

Best,
Christian.

What you're experiencing is normal; storing files in the .git directory
is how Git keeps track of them.  It can't rely on the copies in your
working tree because you can modify those files at any time, and if you
did so, relying on them would corrupt the repository.

Also, note that Git can and does deltify changes between revisions once
the data is packed, regardless of whether the file is binary, but how
well it does so depends on your data.  For example, if it's compressed,
it likely doesn't deltify very well, so storing things like compressed
images or zip files using deflate is generally going to result in a
bloated repository.

However, if you don't need versioning for these files, then you don't
need a Git repository.  Git is a tool for versioning files, not a
general storage mechanism.  You may find a cloud storage bucket or some
other artifact storage service may meet your needs better.

I will also tell you from a practical point of view that almost nobody
(including you) will want to host a 55 GB repository filled with binary
blobs.  Usually repacking these repositories is very expensive,
requiring extensive CPU and memory usage for a prolonged time for little
useful benefit.

This is how Git LFS and similar tools, like git-annex, work.  Git LFS
will create copies of the objects in your .git directory though, at
least until they're pushed to the server, at which point they can be
pruned.  Git LFS has the same limitation as Git here.  I'm less familiar
with git-annex, but it is also a popular choice.

However, as mentioned, it sounds like you don't need versioning at all,
so unless you do, Git with Git LFS will be no more suitable for this
than plain Git.  If that's the case, I encourage you to explore
alternate solutions.
