ANN: giston 0.2.0

Update

This article is outdated: Please read about braid 0.3.0

Giston is a simple tool to help track svn vendor branches in your git repository. It’s loosely based on the idea of piston, but it’s more simplistic and it does less.

Get it

git clone git://git.che.lu/giston.git cd giston sudo ruby setup.rb giston —help # see usage

giston 0.2.0 changes

  • now using the “main” gem for command line arguments parsing
  • rewrote the command handling and cleaned up the code
  • broke “giston update” when used without a mirror name

Please be aware that giston is, still, very immature and might(read: will) unexpectedly break at points. Make sure to commit any local changes before using giston.

I’ll create a rubyforge project for issue tracking and gem releasing next week. At the moment I can’t seem to login to rubyforge. Not to mention that I have to chase some beers around :).

Have fun and please let me know of any bugs, complaints, ideas or patches you might have.
