As you may be aware, the git-review based
developer experience on Windows
is less than perfect - especially compared to the old TortoiseSVN based
workflow.
Merlijn, as i m not contributing code here but am very interested in
suitable git workflows, i am a little shy to ask, but what is the main
disadvantage compared to contributors on linux, and whats the main
disadvantage compared to subversion?
I believe it's not subversion itself as much as the user-interface of
TortoiseSVN, which lots of people have found easy to use and powerful.
git-review kind of forces you to use the command-line interface to git,
which also tends to be slightly more complicated on Windows than on Linux
because you're kind of smashing together a Unix-like environment and a
Windows-like environment. (ick!) I'm used to git on Linux and OS X, but I'm
still a bit frustrated when I end up having to do some git work on Windows.
GitHub has a nice GUI app for Windows which should make it fairly easy to
send a pull request (which we then bridge straight into gerrit), or folks
may more easily use a different git front-end UI they prefer, if they don't
have to poke git-review directly.
Alternatively, we could try to get git-review type support into some of
those GUI tools...
