[jira] [Commented] (OAK-5129) DEVELOPING OAK Section confusing

["Alex Parvulescu (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-5129?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15677380#comment-15677380 ] 

Alex Parvulescu commented on OAK-5129:
--------------------------------------

[~Falling] the svn based workflow is (I think) well known already to many developers on the open source space, that's why there was no need to document it.
In the end the 2 (svn or git) are equivalent if you are only looking at poking around with the code, and I would not read too much into the statement _oak is not developed with GIT_ as it has only minor significance here.

If you prefer svn, you can simply checkout the read-only version and start playing:
{code}
svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jackrabbit/oak/trunk oak-trunk
{code}
after having some changes you'd like to submit as a patch, you just create a diff, and attach it to the dedicated issue:
{code}
svn diff > OAK-0000.patch
{code}
Arguably the svn version is a lot less complex to start with, but in the end you are free to choose whatever is easier for you.

> Why does the docs have a section for GIT,  but that section warns / oak users that oak is not developed with GIT but with svn, but have no section on "Developing with SVN"  ? 
> Are there any plans on updating the Help pages / Docs?
