Piston 2.0.4: minor fixes
2009-07-20
I just release Piston 2.0.4. This is a minor fix to enable Piston to work with more Git versions.
Git 1.6.0.1 accepts checking out a new branch without specifying the remote’s name:
1 $ git checkout -b my-2-3-stable 2-3-stable 2 # implies origin/2-3-stable
Versions prior to that expect the full name of the remote branch:
1 $ git checkout -b my-2-3-stable origin/2-3-stable
Installation is the usual incantation: sudo gem install piston
What is Piston?
Piston is a utility that eases vendor branch management. This is similar to svn:externals, except you have a local copy of the files, which you can modify at will. As long as the changes are mergeable, you should have no problems.
