User repositories
Contributors now have the possibility to create user repositories. This allows all developers with git permissions to create their own repository with the following wildcard:
users/$name/[a-z0-9-]+
This is useful when you have no permission to commit upstream to xfwm4 directly, but you want a branch to build new features or fix bugs and have others test it out:
1. Clone the source repository
git clone git://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfwm4
2. Add your user repository
git remote add private ssh://git@git.xfce.org/users/your-user-name/xfwm4
3. Create a branch
git checkout -b fix-for-bug-1234
4. Make changes
5. Push the branch to your own user repository
git push private
Repos are listed here and with ssh git@git.xfce.org you can see your @C permission.
