Re: [libdbi-devel] Fwd: Re: 2 libdbi patches

hi,

I've just made a quick conversion using git-cvsimport and pushed the
result to github:

https://github.com/bazsi/libdbi

But it was nothing but a mere "git cvsimport" invocation on a fresh CVS
checkout.

It created 4 branches:
  - origin is "tracking" the CVS repo, so it can be refreshed from CVS
(but can be dropped once the git becomes authoritive)
  - "master" is the current HEAD
  - "dap24" and "libdbi-0_8_3_bugfix_branch" were probably created based
on branches in CVS

Here are a couple of tutorials on git:
  * git-scm.com/docs/gittutorial‎
  * www.vogella.com/articles/Git/article.html‎
  * but you can simply find more with google, there are even SVN to git
    tutorials out there

If you like the result, just clone the github repo I have created,
decide where to host it (github would be just fine, it's free until
300MB), push it and announce its existence.

If github is your service of choice, you can clone the repository under
your name using simply the web interface.

Let me know if you need help.

Cheers
Bazsi
