Re: [opennms-devel] Git Repository

I'm not much of a developer, so my "Git-fu" and "SVN-fu" is embarrisingly
low.  Can anyone verify my thoughts?

Since I do not push my commits back to the public SVN repo, I only have to
worry about a few commands:

1).  Create and checkout my local branch (This will be my "dev-base"?) -
'git checkout -b myDev <opennms-branch>'
--- */ Here, I work on my local files, configs, development, etc */
2).  Commit my changes to my git repo - 'git commit'
3).  Occasionally, pull in new OpenNMS public updates to the git repo - 'git
svn fetch --fetch-all'
4).  Make sure the updates trickle into my branch - 'git svn rebase'

Repeat 2-4 as needed.

Is my understanding correct?  I use SVN now, but not much of a master.  I'm
just familiar enough with it, to keep me going.  Git is entirely new.

Thanks for your advice!
