Hi I'm following the instructions on our website at [1] but I'm missing one critical part of information.

If I clone the repository one weekend and then come back to it a week later the first thing I need to do is to update master branch (lp:inkscape / trunk) so I have the latest commits on my local machine. How is this done properly?

"git bzr sync" from [2] seems to be the right command but I'm not sure, it succeeds without errors most of the time. "git pull" doesn't work because I don't have any remotes in my "git" repository. "git bzr pull" gives errors some times but not always.

The errors I get from both "git bzr sync" and "git bzr pull" are as follows: "warning: Not updating refs/heads/bzr/master (new tip bbdb26a8c9d67d9c75d03c43b8db4686008a0913 does not contain deaf8922dbca36e15fe43a72b2b4320ae649a42f)"

The message is sort of obvious that my local branch and remote have diverged but they have not when I compare "git log" with the commits available on launchpad in lp:inkscape.

Any help is appreciated.

I havent actually tried using git with the inkscape repo yet, but I did use git a lot with the emace bzr repo before emacs switched to git upstream.

At that time I found that the termie git-bzr-ng code wasnt stable.

What did work was felipec:s code:

https://github.com/felipec/git

He has a git-remote-bzr helper.

Again, I havent yet tried it with the inkscape repo, only the emacs bzr repo. The emacs bzr repo was however very complicated in terms of history etc.

With git-fc I used "git clone" for getting a local copy of inkscape repository last weekend and continued on (later same day) with some "get fetch" and "git pull" (only fast-forwards), with my normal git workflow (git-flow more or less). Last weekend I experienced some difficulties with "git fetch" downloading the entire repository every time.

Today I tried again with "git fetch" and a fast-forward merge and it only downloaded the last weeks changes (as I originally expected).

Joakim, have you experienced anything like I did last weekend? (just curious because I can't reproduce it today). -- Christoffer Holmstedt

Thanks for the information Joakim. As you say git-fc has the git-remote-bzr helper which I was about to try anyway. I will try that out and if I find it easier to use with inkscape repository I will update the information on our homepage. -- Christoffer Holmstedt
