I'm considering switching from our current software (svn-all-fast-export) to SubGit (http://subgit.com/) which would give us bidirectional mirroring and allow commits using either Subversion or git.If/when that happens, will you also consider accepting contributions using git pull requests or patches sent using git-send-email? This has the nice property of preserving the original author on the commit, without them having commit access to the main repository.
We recommend attaching patches to bug reports at bugs.wireshark.org, otherwise they tend to get lost. However, this shouldn't keep us from preserving author information when the original author and committer are both using git. This appears to be what GNOME Project does: https://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Development/WorkingWithPatches BTW, the page mentions a Bugzilla integration module for Git which might make our workflow easier: http://git.fishsoup.net/cgit/git-bz ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
