can you commit/push files to this and it´s get update in the svn repo as well?
I prefer Git over SVN, has some projects (open source, or public to anyone) on GitHub
and started to use BitBucket for my private closed blender projects.
Anyways, I would love to able to push my themes to GitHub.
as a programmer friend told me, “weird that Blender that is THE open source project for 3d. Is only available via a semi private hidden SVN. And not on GitHub where every major OSS projects are. They should really consider having blender source available everywhere”
I can´t really agree with him that the SVN is semi private, hidden. It´s fairly available if you just read the Development section on blender.org
but anywhoooo, Nicholas maybe you can answer? otherwise I just try.
Lots of devs have git repos (I use one for testing features and fun weekend projects), but if you do pull requests to a git repo at the moment, someone still has to commit it back to svn-trunk.
To answer your question, you can submit pull requests, but this assumes Nicholas would submit those commits back upstream to svn, seeing as he didnt work on this repo in some months, it seems unlikely.
We could setup a git repo where devs actively check for pull requests, review code and commit upstream to svn. but I would rather just move to git in a few months,.
But we’re looking to move to git after this GSOC finishes, its just a lot more work for large projects to do this then with smaller, newer projects.
(fun tasks like weeding out gigs of binary files from commit history, ignoring some GSOC branches, masking out accidental deletion commits).
