Re: [PATCH 0/3] [RFC] Support for publishing projects at central site

Hi!

pasky@suse.cz:

This is not really meant for as-is application, of course, but more
to see if people think it is good idea to have this kind of
functionality in git-gui at all and how generic it should be. This
mini-series depends on pretty much all the other patches I have
submitted tonight.

As long as it is easy to implement the server-side back-end needed to
automatically accept projects that you publish through this hook, then
this is something that would really help out in this conext.

I currently need to perform some "magic" on the server-side to set up
new projects, it would be nice if all the people using it have to do is
to select a menu option saying "publish". Preferrably through the git
protocol, so that I don't have to set up ssh on people's machines
(working in a Windows environment here, so all central repositories are
set up to use the git protocol for both pull and push).


How do you envision discovering the location to publish to? Some kind
of automatic configuration option would be nice. Perhaps be able to
point git gui at some magic URI that would download an XML (or text)
file describing the central server, perhaps?
