Spork bump also runs git?

[bknowles]

I noticed that when doing a "knife spork cookbook bump", it was also trying to do a "git add" of the cookbook. However, we don't use git -- would it be possible to easily configure spork to optionally understand svn instead, and have it automate that?

Thanks!

I'm planning to add a bunch more configurable options such as different version control systems at some point, but as we use Git at Etsy, it's unlikely I'll be adding SVN very soon - providing there are ruby SVN bindings however, it shouldn't be a difficult addition, after I've added the options framework.

We've certainly found spork useful enough as it is that I think we're going to be continuing to use it for a long time, but I don't know how soon we'll be able to migrate off svn and over to git. That migration is planned, but there's lots of higher priority stuff going on right now.

If we do wind up patching our own svn integration into the tool, would you be interested in getting those changes back?

Thanks again!

I'd absolutely be happy to look at integrating the changes...fairly close to the top of my feature list is a config file to allow users to flag on / off settings like git / svn...so if you guys manage to wire in SVN before me, I'd love to include your changes when that's done :)

I'm not making any promises, but I've already done some wrapper tools that use svn outside of spork, and it would certainly be nice for us to have those integrated instead of done in a wrapper.

If we do manage to hack anything together, I'll be glad to share whatever we come up with.

Thanks again!

The latest version's up now with the new config framework - git is now flagged off by default. Checkout the readme for how the new stuff works, should make it easier to add svn to it as well :)

Cool!

Of all the plugins I've installed, this is the one that is most immediately useful to me, and while I'm sure it will be even more useful once we migrate our repository over to git, in the meanwhile being able to have better support for svn is about the only thing I could want to add.

Thanks again!

Closing off for now - I'm not going to add svn support myself (mainly as I don't use it!) but if anyone wants to submit a pull request I'd be happy to include it :)

Well, that employer is in the process of switching from svn to git, and I'm now working at a new employer that is using git on a private internal server. So, I guess it's not that much of an issue for me, either. ;-)

Thanks!
