Asked by Will (24.234.128.x) on October 7 2010, 3:39pm Reply on October 7 2010, 7:23pm: Well, I like to try to get my commits in a logical order, I'll squash if there's stuff that is related that belongs together (i.e. if I committed some changes, and forgot to get some related code updated). For very small stuff I'll rebase for the upstream server, for larger I find it better to show the intent (i.e. in case there are some changes in the origin that interact with my changes. Comment... Question: Much like Silverchair picked up music composition very quickly, did you pick up coding very quickly (obvious talent early on)?

I wrote a script to generate some text yesterday, and I chose perl without thinking about it much (partly because I was in that mode, but also because it's automatically in my msysgit path, whereas php I have to run c:/.../php.exe). Comment... Question: What are you hacking onto git? Are you submitting your code upstream? Asked by Will (24.234.128.x) on October 4 2010, 9:10am Reply on October 5 2010, 8:54am: Most recently, a script that restores timestamps on branch switches, so I can temporarily switch branches and then back without having to rebuild: http://marc.info/?l=git&m=128616773419532&w=2 And prior to that, I added support for various whitespace ignoring options, and the patience diff strategy, to merging: http://marc.info/?l=git&m=128259717516385&w=2 (The latter is apparently coming in the next major git release).

Of course I am not a lawyer, etc, but this is my understanding of it. Comment... Question: Where I can learn VSTi programming? Any web sites?
