I don’t think that’s amazing. What was amazing to me was back when I couldn’t set up a Subversion repository without a “server”.
Someone asks on StackOverflow about why `git push` behaves a certain way? The principle of Laziness dictates that you try to reproduce the issue with two sibling directories where one is a remote of the other one. Like they apparently do in one of Git’s integration tests:
git remote add $1 up ../mirror
- tempodox 3y agoYou can run a Subversion repository on localhost with the svnserve(1) command: https://www.visualsvn.com/support/svnbook/ref/svnserve/re/ https://www.visualsvn.com/support/svnbook/ref/svnserve/re/
- avgcorrection 3y agoYes, another kind of server.
- Calzifer 3y agoBut does it matter? Nowadays even my editor wants to run a server in the background to provide syntax highlighting. People generally don't seem to care and see it as progress.
- avgcorrection 3y agoBut what about the price of tea in China? The language servers you refer to provide a decoupled service to other programs. It has literally nothing to do with the fact that I have to (apparently—why would I even use SVN in this day and age) make a dummy repository somewhere hither or tither just so that I can version control my local-only dotfiles!
- COMMENT___ 3y agoOr in serverless mode without any server at all. Just open the repository via file://.
