[OpenSIPS-Users] [RFC] migration to GIT

[Rudy]

Bogdan,

 Git has pull requests as a feature, but its hard to manage without
some ecosystem like GH as saul mentioned. Here is a good response that
details the differences between what we consider a GH pull request and
a standard git pull request.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6235379/how-to-send-pull-request-on-git

 What makes GH great, is the collaboration between authors and the
integration of these "pull requests" from individual repos to the
master. From there, the team can look at the pull requests and easily
merge whats clean and useful.

Regards,

With pull requests basically a contributor (or even yourself if you want a peer review!) will host the code in a fork and anyone can make inline comments on the diff. Then the contributor can overwrite those commits (in his fork) until everything looks nice. Then, a committer can merge the patch in, but the authorship is preserved so the patch author gets a nice attribution in the form of being the commit author.
