Package: github-backup Version: 1.20120627+b1 Severity: minor
thanks for the github-backup. Besides 'backup' facility it allows to easy 'review' of the clones network with gitk -- very lovely. But it has a big inconvenience atm github-backup for my fail2ban repository generates dozens of directories in the root directory of the project, such as Linutux_fail2ban/ batnasan06_fail2ban/ equalitie_fail2ban/ jakubjedelsky_fail2ban/ knxroot_fail2ban/ leeclemens_fail2ban/ mmckinst_fail2ban/ patricktokeeffe_fail2ban/ xiongww_fail2ban/ Th4nat0s_fail2ban/ blotus_fail2ban/ fail2ban_fail2ban/ jhcodeh_fail2ban/ kwirk_fail2ban/ loveshell_fail2ban/ msoulard_fail2ban/ sourcejedi_fail2ban/ yakatz_fail2ban/ afragen_fail2ban/ combro2k_fail2ban/ gebi_fail2ban/ keszybz_fail2ban/ landline_fail2ban/ mellitus_fail2ban/ msporleder_fail2ban/ staabm_fail2ban/ yarikoptic_fail2ban/ ajhoughton_fail2ban/ engeset_fail2ban/ it-consulting-lorenz_fail2ban/ kiru42_fail2ban/ lchiquitto_fail2ban/ mjvaldez_fail2ban/ opoplawski_fail2ban/ tonivdv_fail2ban/ it pollutes the view, interfers with 'git clean' etc... wouldn't it be more logical to keep them e.g. under .git/backups/ ? I really hope you would find some time to give some TLC to this tool, Joey -- it has big potential. not sure if worth listing here, probably worth a separate report but I would also love to have a 'lean' mode of operation -- when only the remote branches which are not descendants of similarly names branches I have (or not already merged into any local branches) get fetched. I know that it is not really a 'full backup' then, but it would allow for easy review of what is happening with the clones. ATM it is barely manageable for me: (git)novo:~deb/fail2ban[master]git $> git br -a | wc -l 1011 Thanks in advance ;-) -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable'), (300, 'experimental'), (100, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages github-backup depends on: ii libc6 2.13-38 ii libffi5 3.0.10-3 ii libgmp10 2:5.0.5+dfsg-2 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.7.dfsg-13 github-backup recommends no packages. github-backup suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
