Vimpulse has changed its hosting provider from Assembla to Gitorious. The project is now located at: http://gitorious.org/vimpulse The new Git repository can be cloned with: git clone git://gitorious.org/vimpulse/vimpulse.git I recommend just deleting the old repository and cloning the new, because I have modified the Git history to sort out some early SVN conversion mess. (If you have made local changes to the old repository, you can rebase them with `git rebase' or patch your work with `git format-patch' and `git am'. Sorry for the inconvenience.) -- Vegard

I figured I'd provide a bit more info for the curious, so it doesn't look like a pure whim -- the only (AFAIK), but crucial, problem with Assembla's free-as-in-free-beer Git hosting is that it doesn't permit non-fast-forward upgrades, so that's the impulse for Vimpulse changing home again. (Unrelated practical annoyances with Assembla were the mysterious bug tracker and double wiki, which was subject of earlier threads on this list. If you want to say "but Gitorious sucks!" (has no bug tracker, allegedly zero-level support and what not), then you might be right, but all *I* care about (and this is of course just my opinion) is a Git repo that's free in all senses of the word.) As to the history modifications Vegard made: he also decided that commit summaries without periods are better than the former practice, so he modified (almost) all the commit messages. (Vegard, could you please also adjust the recommendations in CONTRIBUTE to that effect?) Štěpán

Done in commit dcf0f9b. Nobody followed this rule anyway, so it made more sense to get rid of it. :) -- Vegard

*cough* I've stated my (quite different) opinion on the matter already to you in private, but let me repeat for the others, too: Apart from a _very_ few exceptions, _everybody_ ended the commit summaries with a period. Period. (I still have the old Git tree handy in case you don't.) Some other projects, including both GNU Emacs and XEmacs, also end commit summaries with a period. (The question whether "most" do or don't should be left to statisticians.) In my opinion, the switch was unwarranted, but I don't care too much -- it's just impractical both because of the commmit rewriting involved, and in case you wanted to merge or contribute to Emacs. Other than that, it's just bike-shedding, indeed. Štěpán

The old Git tree is misleading, as I used `git commit --amend' to add the missing periods before pushing. It seemed too petty (and a waste of people's time) to request a new patch over mere punctuation. The exceptions you see -- that's me, forgetting to check for conformance with this arbitrary, impractical and, thankfully, obsolete rule. -- Vegard
