Re: [ptp-dev] git problem

Hi,

we use the default Eclipse permissions which don't allow us to delete branches. That should be changed.

Currently we can't change the permissions ourselves. Thus we need to open a bug against Community (see (1) for an example).

Should everyone have the force push option? This isn't really risky because everyone has a full backup of our repository and thus we can easy restore the repo if someone deletes/overwrites something accidentally.

If you think we shouldn't all have force push permission for all main branches we could only ask to have force push permissions for e.g.:

refs/heads/temp/* - e.g. refs/heads/temp/hackathon

refs/heads/feature/*

refs/heads/${username}/*

Maybe we should also ask for Greg to get permissions to change the permissions so that we don't need to ask for permissions changes. Permissions can be seen/edited at: https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/admin/projects/ptp/org.eclipse.ptp,access

I too have created a new branch since our workshop and want to manage it's life properly. So I'm curious about this thread and what I'm to do later once it's been merged. At this point I'm still developing it and doing local commits, but in the next two weeks I'll probably be at the same stage that ye ol' hackathon is in.
