= Version Control API -- Git backend =

Git backend for Version Control API -

Provides Git commit information as a pluggable backend.

Provides a git back-end for versioncontrol module.

== Summary ==

SHORT DESCRIPTION

-----------------

This module provides an implementation of the Version Control API that makes

it possible to use the Git version control system. It can retrieve commit

information by parsing commit logs.

This module provides an implementation of the Version Control API that makes it

possible to use the http://git-scm.com[Git] version control system.

For the API documentation, have a look at the module file or run doxygen/phpdoc

on it to get a fancier version of the docs.

It mainly calls git binary and parses the output to get the information.

Any bug reports or feature requests concerning the Git backend in general

should be submitted to the Git backend issue queue:

http://drupal.org/project/issues/versioncontrol_git.

should be submitted to the relevant issue queue:

https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/versioncontrol_git.

If you know that the functionality is (or should be) provided by the

Version Control API (and not by the Git backend), please submit an issue there:

http://drupal.org/project/issues/versioncontrol.

https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/versioncontrol.

== Install ==

Install as usual, see http://drupal.org/node/70151 for further information.

INSTALL

-------

for Drupal 5)

ROADMAP

------

We need to provide git hooks for updating and later for access control.

Also some cli scripts would be very nice for updating without drupal cron

system.

Rewrite versioncontrol_git_update_repository_callback().
