[PD-dev] git workflow idea

[chrism]

Hey Hans,

I've found the easiest way to work with git repos is:

 * clone the master repo to disk (git clone)
 * fork the repo on gitorious or github
 * hack, commit and push changes to your own fork (git add; git commit
-m; git push url-of-my-fork)
 * issue a pull request to upstream via the gitorious or github website
 * periodically pull the upstream (git pull)

YMMV, but it means less commands. :)

Chris.
