[PD-dev] uploading Pd git repository to sourceforge

[Miller Puckette]

Hi Hans --

I think it should be easy for me to apply patches regardless of how you
generate them...  but it might easily be that the easiest way to work anyway
will be to do git-style checkouts.  I have to say that the git learning curve
is steeper than for svn.  But once you've got it working it's way easier to
figure out what's going on.

I had problems with this order:

    vwait ::wait4pd
    if {$::wait4pd eq "timeout"} {
        puts stderr [_ "ERROR: 'pd' never showed up, 'pd-gui' quitting!"]
        exit 2
    }
    ::pd_bindings::class_bindings
    ::pd_bindings::global_bindings
    ::pd_menus::create_menubar
    ::pdtk_canvas::create_popup
    ::pdwindow::create_window
    ::pd_menus::configure_for_pdwindow

The "vwait" command ended up reading stuff from Pd (some printout and
then a "pdtk_pd_dio" call) that the Pd window wasn't set up to deal with.
The printout got dropped and the "dio" printed out a tcl error.

I had to try a few things before I got it "working"... and apparently
it was't yet -- I'll look and see if Hannes's patch helps.

cheers
Miller
