In the the "directories" section/pane, the top directory should have the branch specified in parenthesis.**

Great!  Thanks a lot for pointing that out -- much appreciated

BTW, does any one know how to tell -- via the Main perspective -- which branch one is on?

I currently bring up the dialog box that appears via Branch -> Switch (Ctrl+G) to figure this out.  I'm hoping there's some obvious place I'm missing on the Main perspective I can look to get that information...

I started to feel the need for this after using the cherry-picking functionality (nice to have ).

(as well as gitosis - seems pretty nice)

On a side note, I saw on SuperUser that:

"Gitosis is deprecated and isn't being developed anymore, so if bugs are found they will likely never be fixed. Gitolite was created as a gitosis replacement with far better features, debugging, and troubleshooting abilities."

I didn't turn up a more upstream reference to this claim, but I did notice similar things being mentioned elsewhere.

Did some light testing in kupfer.  It appears that in kupfer, there is a notion of currently selected files.

Rereading your post, I'm not sure I understand what you mean by 'esc' canceling the selection.  Do you mean that pressing 'esc' cancels the selection outside of Qatapult in for example Windows Explorer?

Although I remember being able to work with multiple objects via the comma trick, I don't remember whether multiple objects could be handled via a current selection proxy.  I guess it's possible that they weren't handled.

Would it help at all if there were a default number of objects to handle and allow this to be configured by the user?

I'm trying to add multiple object selection. It partially works, but I still need to add some extra changes. This is a bit long, because it involves changing the structure of Qatapult a bit, but this is just normal code clean up. It has to happens sometimes.

No I didn't.  But then, may be they will see this topic...wishful thinking?

i believe SmartGit has been offering the "Open an existing local or create a new repository" for a while (since v2.x) . I might be mistaken though...

It's quite possible I didn't know it was there earlier

On a side note, I noticed that SmartGit now supports "git init" -- IIRC, it used to be that one had to use git from the command line for this

Project ->
  New Window ->
    Open an existing local or create a new repository

Perhaps setting http.sslVerify to false via git config is an alternative approach.

I guess that may not work if one does not want that to be a global setting and there is no repository for the setting to live in yet (because no initial clone has occurred)...

Under Windows XP SP3, via cmd.exe, something like the following worked:

set GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=true
start c:\apps\SmartGit\bin\smartgit.exe

FWIW, via the command line the following sort of thing is one way to get a successful clone with a self-signed certificate:

env GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=true git clone https://example.com:4567/myrepos.git

Applying the above, under one *nix, the following enabled SmartGit to work as desired:

env GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=true path-to-smartgit-folder/bin/smartgit.sh

I'm having difficulty with SmartGit 3.0.4 and SSL access for self-signed certificates.

The steps I followed are:

Server end:

• Prepare a bare repository to be accessible via SSL + self-signed certificate

In SmartGit:

• Project -> Clone...
• Fill in the "Remote Git..." Repository URL with an https URL pointing to a repository available via SSL + self-signed certificate (e.g. https://example.com:4567/myrepos.git)
• Click "Next"
• Observe the following dialog box:

I expected to be able to bypass the dialog to access any way.

Didn't find anything relevant via a few search engines nor looking through the various settings files.

Developer's Corner / Per-User Software Installation (and the like...) Under *NIX

« Last post by ewemoa on April 21, 2012, 05:19 AM »

I'm hoping to hear from others who are interested in this topic -- hopefully about actual usage whether current or past

Been using the toast [1] tool for a while after having investigated to varying degrees the following:

• paco
• alien
• src2pkg
• src2pkg-ng
• checkinstall
• GNU Stow
• ESP Package Manager
• Smart Package Manager
• OpenPKG

My own usage is under Debian (and a bit of Gentoo).  Some use cases include:

• Want to use a more up-to-date version of something (and/or would like to patch), but would like to be able to cleanly remove traces / disable / enable
• Want to use something on a host which lacks that something, but don't have administrative privileges -- and even if I did, don't want to impact other users' environments

Please share stories!

If interested, I recommend looking at the toast manual after reading the article.

Developer's Corner / TextAdept: Lua-extensible Editor

« Last post by ewemoa on April 20, 2012, 03:10 AM »

Today, Edvard pointed out TextAdept:

Textadept is a fast, minimalist, and ridiculously extensible cross-platform text editor for programmers. Written in a combination of C and Lua and relentlessly optimized for speed and minimalism over the years, Textadept is an ideal editor for programmers who want endless extensibility options without sacrificing speed or succumbing to code bloat and featuritis.

Perhaps trying to extend TextAdept and read some of its source may be a helpful activity if one is interested in learning some Lua.

For Qatapult.exe, I still don't see Quit or Reload in pane 1.

For a shortcut to Qatapult.exe, I see Quit and Reload in pane 1.

The MD5 for the downloaded zip was:

  a1e9279e2bc5c1836ada41fcd9514f91

I did see the updated documentation stating that the default hotkey is shift+space.

The tests were done with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit with a fresh download of Qatapult.
