Hi @tct, it looks good. Do you think you could make it a pull request?
Sorry @gunn, I only use GitHub for bug reporting.
Okay done. Just curious @tct, you clearly know how to use git and github, why not use it for more than bug reporting?
Thanks, @gunn. I am really here for free software and GitHub is not yet, so I only use it for bug reporting. It might sound stupid, I know. :-)
I find it annoying that I receive notifications in GitHub when I would only want them sent by e-mail. AFAIK, I can't change this behaviour from the web interface.
And I would very like to be able to add attachments to issues for sending patches (yes, I know, pull, push and send pull request). But again, I can't run my own GitHub and I can't modify it's behaviour as I would like. I am not in control.
BTW I find it interesting that we use decentralized VCS like git but depend on a centralized web platform to contribute. :-)
I understand wanting to stay with free software, having said that github gives us free git hosting with no drawbacks that I can think of. Once you have a repo you can pretend the web interface doesn't exist and interact with it purely through the standard git CLI. Pull requests of course are something they've invented but as far as I know there's no standard alternative (apart from sending a "please pull from me" email), so this is only giving us options.
You can host your own repo elsewhere and make full use of git's distributed aspect, we can pull from you, merge, and push to our main repo. Pulling from gitorious would be nicer than merging patches I think.
Sounds good, thanks @gunn. Next time I will post the URL to my git repo to pull the changes.
Please apply this small patch:
