[Quantlib-dev] Unofficial Git mirrors available

[Luigi B. <lui...@gm...>]

Hi all,
	unofficial Git mirrors of the QuantLib SVN trunk and 1.0 branch are
available at <http://github.com/lballabio/quantlib> and
<http://github.com/lballabio/quantlib-1.0>, respectively (for space
reason, they only hold the QuantLib module; no bindings or addins.)

If you're not part of the developer group and if you wanted to develop
additional functionality on top of QuantLib, the Git mirrors above might
be more useful than the previously available read-only access to
Subversion. If you clone them, you get a local repository to which you
can commit and from which you can easily generate patches to submit
upstream. If you fork them, you can do the same and also get the
possibility of a collaborative effort with others.

Later,
	Luigi

Very good news.
Do you plan to move permanently to git at some point?

I don't know.  I'd sure like to, but I'm not yet sure how much
comfortable the other developers are with it.

I am not an expert of git, so it might be wrong.

Is it possible to set (on the master git repository) the pattern of files that should be ignored?
Something like that

*.[oa]
*.lo
*.la
*~
.deps
Makefile
Makefile.in
*.m4

in .git/info/exclude

or it has to be set on every clone?

I think so (one can add a .gitignore file.) But unless I'm mistaken, due
to mirroring a svn repository, the file would keep being
rebased---which, I'm told, is not good for a public repository.
