Call me silly ;-) I use this all the time to track projects that use
CVS or SVN, where I either
- Do have write access, but often develop offline (and I have a bunch
of perl/shell scripts to extract the patches and auto-commit them into
CVS/SVN).
- Do have write access, but want to experimental work branches
without making much noise in the cvs repo -- and being able to merge
CVS's HEAD in repeatedly as you'd want.
- Run "vendor-branch-tracking" setups for projects where I have a
custom branch of a FOSS sofware project, and repeatedly import updates
from upstream. this is the 'killer-app' of DSCMs IMHO.
It is not as robust as I'd like; with CVS, the git imports eventually
stray a bit from upstream, and requires manual fixing. But it is
_good_.
cheers,
