Mono Victory Roar

Could also be interpreted as “Shit, the water is freezing.”

Photo Resize

PicasaUploader is a simple tool for uploading photos to Google’s PicasaWeb online gallery. It provides the following functionality:

• Browse and select an album or create a new one
• Browse and select/remove photos to upload
• Duplicate photos handling – Skip/Replace/Upload
• Error handling – if something goes wrong during the upload you will be asked if you want to retry.

The project’s web page and downloads are here – PicasaUploader on the Web. It’s written in C# and the source code/bug tracker are hosted on GitHub at http://github.com/ivanz/PicasaUploader.

You are using Git and git-svn on a big project which has lots of branches and tags but you only need to work with a small selection of those and you don’t want to import all of the rest.

Import an individual SVN branch

1) Define the new branch in .git/config :

[svn-remote "release-branch"]
        url = svn+ssh://xxxx@mono-cvs.ximian.com/source/branches/mono-2-2/mcs
        fetch = :refs/remotes/git-svn-release-branch

2) Import the SVN branch. SVN_BRANCHED_REVISION is the the revision when the branch happened in SVN.

[~]$ git svn fetch release-branch -r SVN_BRANCHED_REVISION

3) Hook up a local Git branch to the remote branch:

[~]$ git branch --track release git-svn-release-branch

5) Checkout and update

[~]$ git checkout release
[~]$ git svn rebase

Done!

Delete the branch checkout

The following command sequence will delete (locally only) the SVN branch and its history:

[~]$ git branch -D release
[~]$ git branch -D -r git-svn-release-branch
[~]$ rm -rf .git/svn/git-svn-release-branch
[~]$ git gc

Now what?

Well, for starters given that you are ready to commit something to trunk and you also want to “backport” to the release branch you just have to do:

[~]$ git svn dcommit
[~]$ git checkout release && git svn rebase
[~]$ git cherry-pick master && git svn dcommit
[~]$ git checkout master

Ladies and Gentlemen, with ~70 commits, 20+ officially filed bugzilla bugs fixed and many dozens of such that weren’t filed and discovered by extensive interactive testing of various test samples and my own application I have revamped the DataGridView and various pieces of DataBinding in Mono’s Windows Forms implementation. Your DataGridView applications should work out of the box (mine does ). Those fixes will be part of the Mono 2.4 release for which we will be branching this month.

Be nice and test your applications with Subversion HEAD or Mono 2.4 branch once it is available (http://mono-project.com/Compiling_Mono) and in case you find any problems be nice and report them to us (http://mono-project.com/Bugs), so that we can fix them for Mono 2.4.

Ciao!
