[OpenIndiana-discuss] Rebranding Work

[George Shepherd]

  Mercurial is the best I think.

The model used internally is two tier.

You pull from a clone which is read-only
You push to the gate once a change is approved.
The push to the gate triggers some scripts to pull
from the clone.

The subject matter expert in gatekeeping is
James McPherson (McBofh). The gatekeeper
scripts that do that work are important glue.
He may be up for helping with a lite infrastructure
as the basic things should not be complex to do.

-HTH

I'm out of my area of expertise here - we need a slick solution where people can check out a tree, do work, and somehow get those changes stored for others to check out and work on them. Perhaps Git might be a better solution than mercurial for our development model? Not sure.
