I'm trying to make a comprehensive comparison of Perforce and Git features. There are two things I currently can't find: 1) "Who's editing what" It's been documented that git can help developers communicate who is editing what at any given time like perforce. (assuming there is a central repositry) Has anyone seen an example of scripts to do this? References: http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~blynn/gitmagic/ch07.html (Who's editing what) "To view "pending" changes a la P4 C<git cherry> or C<git log> can be used on someone else's branch, but their changes must be published." - http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2008/09/msg139661.html 2) Symlinks to checkout partial repository I believe I read symlinks could be used to checkout part of a repository. Is this true? any references? I imagine submodules is the preferred way of doing this, and "narrow" or "partial" or "sparse" checkouts are under development (http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/git/2008/9/14/3292714), but I'm still interested in learning this solution. any direction would be appreciated, -brandon -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
