GitFileTree: Playing Nice with FileTree

Administrator

If I have a filetree://path/to/canonical/local/repo repository, can I later point a GitFileTree repo to that folder? From the MC Browser +Repository menu, I only seem to be able to set the subfolder relative to the #imageDirectory, not the absolute path…

Cheers,
Sean

Are you sure about the local path? I know I played with a few things to
try to get local paths to work if used.

But gitfiletree://path/to/canonical/local/repo will work.

(git)filetree://path/to/canonical/local/repo

This is a relative path:

(git)filetree:// + path/to/...

it should be:

(git)filetree:// + /my/absolute/path (triple slash)

As for FileTree/GitFileTree, due to windows issues my colleague and I were using both. I was commiting directly through gitfiletree, and he was comitting via filetree, and then applying git on top of that manually.

And if MCBrowser can't do it, maybe try it from playground... e.g.

Metacello new

baseline: 'Project'; "or configuration maybe for non-git"

repository: 'gitfiletree:///my/abs/path/repository';

load.

Sorry, I was confuing MCFileTreeGitRepository and MCFileTreeGitRemoteRepository. Furthermore, they both seem to handle absolute paths just fine! I thought that #name: in the creation template of the latter would just take a subdirectory, but putting an absolute path worked :)
