Re: [tm-dev] TM on Github

["Oberhuber, Martin" <Martin.Oberhuber@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No worries, this is not so urgent :)

I wanted your thoughts in general: whether it is a good idea to set up some "push updates" cronjob on our side, or to rely on github mirroring to "pull" our repo.

Personally, I'm starting to like the "push" approach since that gives us control in case somebody needs the github clone up-to-date for some reason. Github is not always responsive to mirroring requests.

Thanks,
Martin

Hi Martin,
I like the idea in principal, however, I already have plans for the weekend. :)
