Haha, no probs Neither does the job I either need to figure out how the indexes get involved in the dot version, Or give in and create a branch - that's how you guys work mainly, so that use case will no doubt work Or find something else to do the job - mercurial looks promising -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Whiteside [mailto:jeff.m.whiteside@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: 31 December 2008 02:36 To: Conor Rafferty Cc: Daniel Barkalow; Boyd Stephen Smith Jr.; git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: for newbs = little exercise / tutorial / warmup for windows and other non-sophisticated new Git users :-) [Scanned] sir, i believe you're not reading what is typed. > wtf is wrong with > > git checkout <something> > > ?? > > ** It doesn't reliably put the files that were in that revision into > the working directory - a fairly major flaw, for what I'm using SCM > for (and 80% of the market IMHO) yes it does. your example uses "git checkout versionB .", which is NOT "git checkout <something>" we are suggesting you do "git checkout versionB" which is different (HINT: there is NO dot), and which i'm 99% positive will work. if you still disagree, then i'm sure mercurial will be sufficient for your needs, and all your dcvs book-lernin' over christmas will be transferrable. good luck with whatever option you choose. -- 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
