Re: [paho-dev] Creating a new branch in git

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

By policy, most repositories are set up
so it takes special action or web master assistance to create a new "permeant"
branch ... BUT, any committer can create a new "topic branch"
... the format of the name just needs to be committerId/topic ... so, perhaps
"nick/develop" will work for you? (The reason for this is that
"permeant branches" should never be deleted, hence it is made
"harder" to create them ... whereas if you create a topic branch
with your committer ID as part of the name, then the system will not only
allow you to create it, but you can delete it later).

   [paho-dev] Creating

Hi,

I've been poking at the structure of the _javascript_ client
project to get back to the point where the .js file in git can actually
be used without running it through a maven build. This involved adding
a very small wrapper for the node-based tests to use so the client can
still use the browser-specific apis.

I've also added a _javascript_ compress task to the build
so we have a -min.js version (30Kb)  as well as the original one (76kb).

I wanted to push this to a new branch (nick-develop) so
that anyone with an interest could have a look to make sure we're happy
for it to go into the main develop branch. However, when I try to push
the new branch, I'm told I don't have the right permissions:

    error: insufficient permission for adding
an object to repository database ./objects
    
    fatal: failed to write object
    error: unpack failed: unpack-objects abnormal
exit
    To ssh://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/paho/org.eclipse.paho.mqtt._javascript_.git
     ! [remote rejected] nick-develop ->
nick-develop (n/a (unpacker error))
    error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/paho/org.eclipse.paho.mqtt._javascript_.git'


Does creating a new branch really need more permissions
than I have as a committer?  If so, what is the expected work flow
for this sort of thing? (I suspect I'm too used to the github work flow
where this is second nature...)

Nick
