Fwd: Re: (Temporary) git tree

[Pete Batard]

This was bound to happen - I just sent this to the libusb-devel mailing 
list, so I guess the cat's out of the bag now.
And though I am using gmail, there's no undelete as the message was sent 
from Thunderbird...

Real sorry about that.
  What happened is that I clicked reply instead of reply list, so only 
Segher was listed, and picked up libusb rather than libusbx. Damn! :(

OK, I guess I'll do some damage control and announce to the folks on 
libusb that a fork is in the works then (but I'll wait a while to see if 
there are any objections to it).

Again, I'm very sorry about this mishap. Talk about blowing the lid early...

A very sorry /Pete

Thanks.

OK.

Since you mention temporary in the title, I'll assume the the final
resting place of libusbx git have the ability to also provide personal
git repos for development, on the same server as official branch(es)
(i.e. like Peter does with git.libusb.org), as I most definitely will
want a -pbatard branch hosted there.

Now, some may argue that, since everybody should be able setup their
personal repos on github and whatnot, the need for officially endorsed
personal repos might be minimal, but I'd say that having all the active
development branches listed under one roof will help potential
contributors find out if there is one they might be interested
contributing to => if the final libusbx git limits itself to master and
pu, it may look a bit uninspiring and hard to navigate.

Also, the main interest of having dev repos hosted at the same place of
course is that it makes switching between git branches a lot simpler
than having to configure a bunch of different remotes.

Will do.

OK. I'll duplicate pu on github and provide a link when I have something
there worth looking at.
