Re: [ jEdit-devel ] jedit is now in git.

[Alan E. <ala...@gm...>]

I don't have any experience with bzr yet, but I don't know many others
who are using it.

I did this mostly as a learning exercise, to see how to create a
bidirectional syncing clone of jEdit with git. I hope it can be useful
for Shlomy, but it is not automatically updated in both directions -
currently I manually do pulls and pushes on both the SVN and GIT in
order to keep them in sync... And I'm not sure how safe it is to
automate that process.

I am not planning on taking away the jEdit svn right now.

Also, I think someone (perhaps me) will have to write the bzr
projectviewer importer before I really start using bzr .
