Re: [xml-dev] OT: Suggestion for new OSS SCC site / tool for xmlsh ? Sou

I'm new to Git as well, but I'm surviving!  It's like a big labyrinth with 
one well marked corridor.  If you stay on that corridor you're fine, but if 
you accidently stray off it, it can be hard to find you're way back!

I thought that you could use an SVN client to talk to a Git server and 
Github.  I guess the more Git specific workflows might not be supported, but 
it might be a start.

Norman talking of machismo reminded me that I mostly use the Windows 
interface to Git.  That seems to be looked down on in the community, but it 
suffices for the bulk of my needs.

Maybe cloning an existing project and then playing around with it might be 
an idea.

SourceForge has gone to the dark side.


I am so annoyed by this thread and the associated links which seem to clear 
the FUD
http://www.gluster.org/2013/08/how-far-the-once-mighty-sourceforge-has-fallen/

Basically SourceForge has been bought by Dice and now is encouraging users 
to use their Malware infected  (well "Encouraged Additional Applications you 
Didnt Ask For")
installer (like the Oracle Java installer) that drive-by installs other 
junk.
I hosted on SourceForge originally 6 years ago because I felt it provided a 
(by association with other good quality OSS) sense of quality and respect to 
an OSS project.
Now the opposite is true, I might as well host on aol.com

Suggestions welcome ... I've really only used the deployment and SVN server 
component of SF ... and event those I could host myself but I do find it 
useful to let people
browse the code history online.

Do I need (want to?) learn "git" ? and move to github ?  My "Git" experience 
so far has been disappointing (I cant figure it out !  The model makes  no 
sense and I never know if stuff is checked in or not)
I have some projects on google code which has been sufficient and 
trustworthy as sites go ... but it has that "google owns you" creepiness 
factor.

Suggestions welcome ...
Self host ? Github ? Google Code ? Others ?

Oh yea, I *rarely* plug this ... but if you feel so inclined you may want to 
spread the news about SF ...
So far their drive-in installer download is "opt in" (to the developer) ... 
but the direction is sad.   It was ad sponsored enough already .... 
"Infecting" installers,
even if approved by the vendors, is just too much for me to take.
