Determine what to do with these patch-related pages when Git is deployed

*ignore this*

As a general rule, anything here about applying patches, reviewing patches, etc. remains largely or even completely unchanged. But anything about creating patches will become obsolete and need to either be replaced at some point or archived.

My general idea.
- Group create/apply patches (general) stuff in the git handbook (1)
- Refer to the gui/commandline tools for specific instructions
- Refer to the git handbook in the "Getting Involved Guide"

- Move http://drupal.org/patch/apply and the pages under it to the git handbook. It doesn't belong under http://drupal.org/node/314199 it's to technical. See (1).

Archive (creat patches docs)

http://drupal.org/node/60234
http://drupal.org/node/60815
http://drupal.org/node/60815

http://drupal.org/node/550576
http://drupal.org/node/427082
http://drupal.org/node/191106 - for me this is cruft, maybe some will shoot me for that
http://drupal.org/node/517018 - duplicate
http://drupal.org/node/324 (woow ancient page :) )

Archive (apply patches)

http://drupal.org/node/32875 - cygwin stuff, is not needed for git

Replace or move

http://drupal.org/patch/background
http://drupal.org/patch/create

http://drupal.org/node/128436 - replace with a git page where you explain how to make aliases and stuff?

Update

http://drupal.org/node/534548
http://drupal.org/node/442368 - link to git handbook for technical part
http://drupal.org/node/367392
http://drupal.org/patch/spotlight
http://drupal.org/node/28245 - remove technical stuff and refer in the numbered list to the git handbook sections
http://drupal.org/patch/reverse
http://drupal.org/node/128513
http://drupal.org/patch

Unsure

http://drupal.org/node/424414 - dunno what to do about non git stuff

This was not an easy task... So I can be wrong in some places.

I'll hit http://drupal.org/patch

http://drupal.org/patch is done, moving on to http://drupal.org/patch/create.

Did some initial updates of http://drupal.org/patch/create, but I'm realizing that there are quite a number of patch related docs and some duplication amongst many of them. Did not clean out ALL the CVS references there, but we're adding a warning to the tops of the pages to link to the git handbook. At least giving people the heads up about the change, even if we can't get all the docs immediately updated.

<div class="help">Note: This page is being updated to reflect the <a href="http://drupal.org/community-initiatives/git">drupal.org migration from CVS to git</a>. Any references to CVS are deprecated and probably no longer work. See the <a href="http://drupal.org/documentation/git">git documentation</a> page for updated git instructions</div>

http://drupal.org/patch/submit - removed references to "HEAD", and replacing with branches (heads) on the documentation page (I guess we're still calling them "heads" now per the column name at http://drupalcode.org/project/drupal.git)

Ok we archived and cleaned up the structure :)
Lets update the last docs =)

possible duplicate: #1096512: Creating patches should cover another alternatives that format-patch can someone have a look? thx!

Not a duplicate :)
These pages still need an update!

Reassigning to me to at least evaluate during office hours

I believe this is now updated. Thanks for the ping, I had totally forgotten about that old page!
