Got is a nascent version control system that uses the git repository format and thus has some degree of interoperability with git. http://gameoftrees.org/ People who don't need the full git experience may be able to use got to check out the FreeBSD src repository. There has been some talk of importing got into base as a successor to svnlite. Meanwhile, there's a devel/got port. If you feel overwhelmed by the flood of magic command lines and configuration file sections that are being posted for git... Well, here are some less imposing magic command lines that will also be easier to make sense of from the got(1) man page: Clone the repository: $ cd /somewhere $ got clone -a ssh://anongit@git.freebsd.org/src.git Check out stable/12: $ cd /usr $ got checkout -b stable/12 /somewhere/src.git I verified with "diff -uNr -x .got -x .svn -I '\$FreeBSD.*\$'" that this is indeed identical to a svn checkout. Update your source: $ cd /usr/src $ got fetch $ got update -b origin/stable/12 $ got rebase stable/12 This is the standard configuration which allows you to have changes on a local branch distinct from the upstream origin/* one. If you are sure you don't need this, you can simplify things by cloning a mirror of the original repository: $ got clone -a -m ssh://anongit@git.freebsd.org/src.git ... and updating your checked out source will simply be: $ cd /usr/src $ got fetch $ got update You may also want to give the tog(1) repository browser a spin. Very handy to figure out who, say, probably broke wcwidth()... Check it out! (pun intended) - - - - - At this time, got does not yet support cloning/fetching over https, pushing to a remote repository, or garbage collection. Git can be used to supply missing functionality for the time being. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de
