[Click] ANNOUNCE: git repository open, anonymous CVS change

[Eddie Kohler]

Hi all,

The Click repository has now shifted to "git", a distributed source control 
system.

This mail focuses on the most basic git operations: fetching a repository and 
fetching changes ("cvs co" and "cvs up").  Distributed source control also 
offers many other advantages; it becomes easy for people to maintain their own 
public Click repositories, to create branches, and to merge branches with 
others.  I really hope people take advantage of this, and start sending links 
to their own development repositories to the list.

The existing anonymous CVS repository will soon be taken down.  However, we 
have put up a new anonymous CVS server, which provides direct access to our 
most current sources.  That way people uncomfortable with Git, or unable to 
use Git, can access Click using CVS.

TO FETCH A WORKING COPY OF CLICK
================================
% git clone git://read.cs.ucla.edu/git/click
% cd click

% git clone git://read.cs.ucla.edu/git/click-packages
% cd click-packages

TO UPDATE YOUR WORKING COPY WITH OUR LATEST CHANGES
===================================================

% cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at read.cs.ucla.edu:22401/git/click-packages co -d 
click-packages master

We welcome complaints, etc.  Have fun.
Eddie
