Assorted Questions

Hi,
Here are my questions

1. What is the size of Factor's git master? Because pulling a large one isn't possible for me

2. Is a full master copy needed to make changes to certain files and merge them.

3. If I'm not so comfortable with git, can I send patches to some developer who can merge them ( if they are accepted of course )

Thanks,
Nikhil

About 20mb I believe.

Yes.

Yes, although I would prefer that you use git.

Re: Assorted Questions

Kikhil,

If you want, I can set up an account for you on a server I have. Using
a real version control system like git instead of throwing around
patch files is better because (1) it highlights conflicts from
concurrent changes (2) it's easier for people to pull your patches.
Interested? If so, I'll help you get set up.

First I'll just get comfortable on a local server and pull the master branch.
But I'll let you know if I need an account. BTW is onigirihouse.com yours?

Thanks a lot!

Re: Assorted Questions

Mine is factorforge.org. I made it not because there was anything
wrong with onigirihouse but just because I can't hand out accounts
there. So just tell me when you're ready to get started.
