Re: Gnus Git repository info and comitters: need updated password

[Ted Zlatanov <tzz@lifelogs.com>]

For those who use the plain http repo 
("git clone http://git.gnus.org/gnus.git"), make sure to remove the old
clone and redo your clone.  I redid it completely on the server last night
(2010-04-13) so it's a clean replay of the repo.or.cz mirror now.

Comitters, if you sent me an updated password it's been added (thanks!).
You can test with (GIT_CURL_VERBOSE is optional):

GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=1 GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1 git clone https://git.gnus.org/gnus.git
cd gnus
git config http.sslVerify false

The third line is necessary or you'll have to prefix all your Git
commands with GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=1.  If Lars gets a SSL certificate for
ding.gnus.org it won't be necessary, but I'm OK with it personally.  We
could also install a custom CA but that's IMHO a bigger pain.

If you are new to Git, you'll probably like Magit.  It's a very good
wrapper around basic Git functionality like staging, committing,
pushing/pulling, and ammending.  I use it most of the time and drop to a
shell when needed.  You can also use the vc-dir functionality but that's
much less Git-specific so it may not work for you.

I still consider this experimental so don't rely on it.  We'll probably
go live this week.

p.s. Remember to also configure your Git user.email and user.name.
Here's my .gitconfig, with some convenient (I'm used to Subversion)
aliases:

% cat ~/.gitconfig               
[user]
        name = Ted Zlatanov
        email = tzz@lifelogs.com
[color]
        diff = auto
        status = auto
        branch = auto
        interactive = auto

[alias]
        st = status
        ci = commit
        co = checkout
        staged = "diff --cached"
        unstaged = diff
        both = "diff HEAD"
        oneline = "log --pretty=oneline"
        amend = "commit --ammend"
