Re: Patch submission Hi Nathan, are you still interested to go ahead with the Git repository? I believe it would be very beneficial for sweethome3d if code contributions would be easier. Unfortunately there's a vicious circle: 1. Puybaret does not see any benefit in Git compared to SVN. 2. SVN actually has the advantage, that you can commit your dependencies to a lib/ folder without worrying about the repository size. 3. The advantages of Git only become visible when multiple people contribute to the project. 4. People hesitate to contribute to a project that still uses SVN in 2023. A friendly Git fork of the project could attract contributors and show the advantages of Git to Puybaret. The Subversion repo could be maintained as the master branch of the Git repo and pull requests could be reviewed and forwarded to Sourceforge. With time, Puybaret might change his mind. I'd be happy to help with such a friendly Git fork. To make this work, Puybaret would at least need to accept a patch that adds an ivy.xml to the repo and the lib/ folder needs to be ignored when creating the svn2git repo. |
