[PD-dev] Pull-request: deken plugin with commit history

[Chris McCormick]

Hi Miller,

I generated a branch of the deken plugin git repository with only the 
deken-plugin.tcl file changes in it:

https://github.com/pure-data/deken/tree/deken-plugin-only

I rebased it onto your Pure Data master and pushed it to GitHub here:

https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/tree/deken-plugin-history-merged

To merge this into Pd you can paste the following into a terminal window 
inside your pure-data repository working copy:

# add github as a remote
git remote add github git at github.com:pure-data/pure-data.git
# fetch the github remote's branches
git fetch github
# merge the deken-plugin-history-merged branch
git merge deken-plugin-history-merged

This will merge the 114 commits that lead to deken-plugin.tcl into the 
mainline Pd commit history linked to tcl/pd_deken.tcl thereby preserving 
the full commit history of the deken plugin changes. The resulting 
tcl/pd_deken.tcl is exactly the same as the one currently in your 
repository except that it has the commit history attached.

You can view the full log of the changes to the plugin once merged as 
follows:

git log --follow tcl/pd_deken.tcl

I hope you'll consider doing this. Git history is important as an 
archival and code-history preserving mechanism - useful to futurepeople. 
They will examine our commit histories in minute detail from the comfort 
of their hover-domes I am sure! Also I want people to see my name many 
times in Pd's commit history so that they may know my greatness.

Cheers,

Chris.
