Subject: still unclear on setting up a repository
Date: 19 Nov 2005 16:40:20 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <86br0g883v.fsf@blue.stonehenge.com> (raw)


I'm really unclear here if it's me, the code, or the docs...

first, create the "remote"

        % cg-admin-setuprepo remote.git

that works fine, now set up the "local"

        % mkdir local.git
        % cd local-git
        % cg-init -m "junk message why should I have to do this one, it's dumb"

Now here's where I'm unclear.  I need to "push" this into the remote,
so I try this:

        % cg-branch-add origin "$(cd ..; pwd)/remote.git#master"
        % cg-branch-ls

This seems to report the right thing.  I have a branch "origin"
that points at the remote repository.  So far, I think I'm understanding
what's happening.  But now, go boom:

        % cg-push
        cg-push: where to push to?

Huh?  How do I do the initial push?  Not this way?  Is it me, docs, or
code that is broken here?

UPDATE...

aha... "cg-push origin" works.  But "cg-push" is documented to
default to "origin".  Why doesn't it?

And then, another "go-boom" problem:

    % cg-fetch
    Hard links don't work - using copy
    Fetching head...
    cp: illegal option -- d
    usage: cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-f | -i | -n] [-pv] src target
           cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-f | -i | -n] [-pv] src1 ... srcN directory
    cg-fetch: unable to get the head pointer of branch master

Any chance you could make this more POSIX-like?  I know you have a big
warning in README.osx, but are you *really* needing all those weird
GNU-isms?  Maybe you could fall back to using rsync to copy exactly
what you need?
