madduck's git repository

Every one of the projects in this repository is available at the canonical URL git://git.madduck.net/madduck/pub/<projectpath> — see each project's metadata for the exact URL.

All patches and comments are welcome. Please squash your changes to logical commits before using git-format-patch and git-send-email to patches@git.madduck.net. If you'd read over the Git project's submission guidelines and adhered to them, I'd be especially grateful.

SSH access, as well as push access can be individually arranged.

If you use my repositories frequently, consider adding the following snippet to ~/.gitconfig and using the third clone URL listed for each project:

 * more revision control systems
 
-* support for tracking repo renames
+* a way to detect repos in a tree that are not registered, and warn
+  about or even auto-register them. (svn externals make this quite
+  difficult!)
 
-  It should be possible to tell mr that there used to be a repo at
-  src/foo/bar, and it's been moved to src/bar. mr would then detect if the
-  move needs to be done, and handle it. This is mostly useful when mrconfig
-  files are shared accross several systems.
+* When there are chained mrconfig files, mr could be smarter about
+  checkouts and updates. Ie, when a new version of an mrconfig file is
+  checked out or updated, throw all the info from the old one away, and
+  process the new one.
 
-  [src/bar]
-  renamedfrom = src/foo/bar
+  Until this is fixed, checkouts and updates need to be manually repeated
+  after mrconfig files have changes.
 
-  (Support multple renames of a single repo?)
+* offline support
 
-* mr register
+  If I commit something to git while offline, it would be nice if mr could
+  have a way to push that change when I get online.
 
-  Idea is you check out a repo and then use mr register to add it to the
-  closest mrconfig file.
+  One approach would be to notice when mr commit fails, and queue the
+  commit up to be tried happen again when "mr retry" is run. This could
+  also notice other failing commands, such as "mr up".
 
-  mr register would be implemented as a shell command that then calls
-  mr config with flags that make it actually edit the mrconfig file:
-
-  if [ -d "$MR_REPO/.svn" ]; then
-       url=$(svn info "$MR_REPO" | grep -i ^URL: | cut -d ' ' -f 2)
-       if [ -z "$url" ]; then
-               error "cannot determine svn url"
-       fi
-       mr -c "$MR_CONFIG" config --add "$MR_REPO" --checkout="svn co $URL"
-  fi
+  Would it make sense to have to first run "mr offline", before mr starts
+  recording such failures? If so, "mr online" would be the thing to run
+  when getting back online, this would both retry queued commands, and stop
+  queuing new failures.
