After some thoughs, we cannot provide direct and complete rsync access with our current security model which is: no local access (and not custom hooks). Even CVS replication is made in such a way that CVSROOT is not overwritten. I'd rather work on setting git up so it can suit your needs as well as those of other users :) I need to implement a Savane interface to backup&reset any repository on project admin's demand - if you can help work on this, that'd be welcome =) > Wow.

Tailor sounds really cool.

Ok, as far as I understand you can simply push your local repository to Savannah. I did: ~/tests/git/git-latest$ git push \ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/srv/git/sources/administration/main.git \ master:refs/heads/remote_branch updating 'refs/heads/remote_branch' using 'refs/heads/master' from 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 to b86bec6c4ff7909246e68a4495dcaaeede3907e9 Generating pack... Done counting 19368 objects. Deltifying 19368 objects. 100% (19368/19368) done Unpacking 19368 objects Total 19368, written 19368 (delta 13368), reused 19187 (delta 13208) refs/heads/test: 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 -> b86bec6c4ff7909246e68a4495dcaaeede3907e9 Some variants of that command overwrite the remote_branch and reupload everything, I'll play a bit more with this. .git/remotes/yourshortcut can prevent from typing a super-long push line. I need to implement some hooks to pack the repository from time to time, maybe. That'd depend on disk usage patterns. -- Sylvain _______________________________________________ Savannah-help-public mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/savannah-hackers
