Ccnet.git.plugin

=ccnet.git.plugin

Source Control Plugin for CruiseControl.NET that talks to git.

==configuration

===minimal ccnet configuration

<sourcecontrol type="git"> <repository>git@github.com:dogeth/ccnet.git.plugin.git</repository> </sourcecontrol>

===fully specified ccnet configuration

<sourcecontrol type="git"> <repository>git@github.com:dogeth/ccnet.git.plugin.git</repository> <branch>master</branch> <autoGetSource>true</autoGetSource> <executable>git</executable> <tagOnSuccess>false</tagOnSuccess> <tagCommitMessage>ccnet build {0}</tagCommitMessage> <workingDirectory>c:\build\ccnet.git.plugin</workingDirectory> <timeout>60000</timeout> </sourcecontrol>

==Environment Before even attempting to use this plugin, take note of the following

• Your path should include %ProgramFiles%\Git\bin and %ProgramFiles%\Git\cmd
• The HOME environment variable should be set to %USERPROFILE%
• You should be able to run git from a standard command prompt.

==Things to do

• I'm not checking for multiple heads, like the mercurial source control class. Didn't see that situation arising in our current git workflow so I didn't bother.
• The position of each modification in the list is used as the ChangeNumber. WHen 1.5 comes around may be able to use the commit hash instead.
• The type of modification is used to store the commit hash. Should expand this to actual file information.
• Commit level modifications are used. Actual files changed in each commit are not published. Obviously something which could be implemented but have run out of time for the moment.

==Credits I took a lot of ideas from the following

• http://jira.public.thoughtworks.org/browse/CCNET-1188
• http://www.codeplex.com/TFSCCNetPlugin/
• ccnet source

I also got some great feedback from Xerxes Battiwalla, see his blog post on the matter at http://www.xerxesb.com/2009/getting-cruisecontrolnet-to-talk-to-git/
