Re : [m2t-dev] Re: [xtext-dev] Xtext, Xpand, MWE 1.0.1 (SR1) release and Git migration on Wednesday, August 25

What do you think about Alfresco? I don't know
If it includes bugtracker, but it has got a nice file-sharing and wiki system. Bugzilla fits the job but seems hostile for end user

Hi Miles,
> I'd hate to see Bugzilla replaced as the primary tool for user interaction and defect / feature tracking. It may not be perfect but it's got such a long cultural history and practices set up around it. But OTOH I have found that Bugzilla isn't so great for looking at the bigger picture -- there does seem to be a gap between very high-level Wiki project planning and bugzilla. Maybe Gerrit will fill that and it will be interesting to see how people's experience goes with it.

Gerrit is a tool for code review and not a bug tracker. Therefore, it should coexist with bugzilla and not replace it.

> BTW, a bit off-topic but we're finding that Git or at least EGit doesn't work so well for merging files with multiple edits -- which is of course exactly the kind of thing that it is supposed to be good at -- are people using cmd-line git or what to handle this stuff?

How about letting the branches diverge less by doing a rebase from time to time or doing an intermediate merge?

Moritz
