I would like to contribute to #1074960: Let maintainers set a default branch on git repositories.

Planned steps:

Just in case that's not always the case: The development environment would have to include git.

Hrm. :( Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible to get a dev environment with Git right now. :( I pinged Sam Boyer about it and asked him to chime in here.

Thank you webchick.

That's correct. The current site environments do not support *any* git-related functionality. We have a larger project in the works to support that, but for the moment you'll just have to rely on setting up a local environment.

Ok, thanks. Then for a local version ;)

(Maybe I'll reopen this when I get to a point where I feel the staging server might be useful anyway.)

Is there an issue for tracking efforts on the larger VM project? I'm starting to get enough inquiries about this at various camps, etc. that we might find some eager volunteers to help push it forward.

No need for bazar access anymore, I have my own test site running now. A git enabled staging VM would definetily be useful, though.

If it's not asking too much, it would be AWESOME for you to document how you got a local test site running with a sample Git repo as a sub-page to http://drupal.org/make-drupalorg-awesome

That were a lot of hacks, some maybe unnescessary. I'll see (later) if I can come up with something.

Current status of that documentation: http://drupal.org/node/1313938

To test the update functions (that need only interaction with the database, not the actual repos) I created a new request for a development site: #1326564: I want a drupal.org development site for testing changes to the Verisoncontrol Git backend.
