And converting the current svn repo to a git repository is not difficult with the "git svn" command. That's how I maintain my local changes right now. Just found out that it is not possible to register a new github user named "ctags". Github says it is a reserved word. I have too little experience with github to fully understand why and if Darren can claim the name. But remember that switching technology doesn't solve problems like people's time schedule and priorities in life. > During your absence, I wrote some patches for a tree at github: > > https://github.com/fishman/ctags > > (I've cc'd this mail to Reza Jelveh, the maintainer of the tree.) > > As far as I know, the tree is the most active ctags tree forked from > sf.net. I hope both you plan to merge the improvements into one tree. I think the parsers used by Geany are even better maintained. https://github.com/geany/geany/tree/master/tagmanager/ctags Only special thing the Geany teams seems to do is rename some kind names to c-like kind names. Obviously this should not be done upstream. But other than that they have much more commits to the various parsers and several new parsers. I agree with you that it would be great if all those changes would be combined in one upstream tree. Regards, Frank |
