It's a patch management system built on top of Git, which integrates perfectly with Git. It rocks already, despite the many rough edges it still has. The only reasonable heuristic to identify a TopGit repository is to use to use git-ls-remote and look if the remote has top-bases: git ls-remote git://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/topgit.git refs/top-bases/\* this means two network connections, but there is no other way; topgit is not a build dependency for packages using it. > While we are at it, one of the other improvement I was thinking > was to track per default all remote git branches after "git > clone". Comments? Sounds like something that should be configuratble in Git (but is not), so if you simulate it with debcheckout, please make it configurable too! -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org> : :' : proud Debian developer, author, administrator, and user `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck - http://debiansystem.info `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems i feel like i'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe.
