Antifork

[Traumflug]

For years I have the impression that there is no shortage of gEDA/pcb developers. Actually, many people happily hack away on it. However, for some magic reason, none of them does so in the official repo. Virtually all of them created forks. No surprise, their stuff is close to invisible.

Enter antifork. I wrote a script which simply does the reverse. It pulls back all the branches in remote repositories into the official repo. ... wait ... not into the public official repo, but your local clone of it. For now. Forwarding such branches to the public repo is straightforward, simply do a 'git push origin <branch>'.

Will push the script and discuss it on the geda-user list in a minute.

Thanks for the additions, Bert. 20 forks now ...

I think it's not neccessary to post these patches here, too. Doesn't hurt, but also no gain.

Just forwarded all the current Antifork commits to master. While one or two forkers weren't exited by the wink coming with this tool, nobody found it buggy or harmful.

No support for admins actively blasting developers away.
