=======================
Git
=======================

Quick tip: when you have ``.gitignore`` ignoring everything (with a ``*`` 
entry), you need to use ``git-update-index --add FILE`` to actually add the
file, instead of just ``git-add FILE``.

Over HTTP
--------------
To make a repository available over "dumb" HTTP, set up a bare repository and
copy ``hooks/post-update.sample`` to ``hooks/post-update``.

To add links from gitweb, add to the ``@git_base_url_list`` list in the
configuration file.

Copying Files Between Repositories with History
------------------------------------------------

Create a branch with only python files (slow; ignore the very verbose "won't
delete directory" output):

    git checkout -b filtered-commits
    git filter-branch -f --prune-empty --tree-filter 'find . -not -iname "*.py" -exec rm {} \;' filtered-commits

In the receiving repo:

    git pull path/to/source/repo
