Topic: Pragmatic Version Control Using Git / DVCS, Thank you.

Can we expect some info on tracking (upstream) repositories with git?

I find that when I want to contribute to a project, I prefer to do some things ‘locally’ (in my own branch) and then if I’m happy with it, I’ll send a patch to a project. Generating nice patches and tracking the upstream repository (even if it’s not git, but i.e. svn) to keep the patches in sync is something that I’m very interested in (any best practices?)

Also things like github, or putting a repository on your own website might be interesting to spend a few words on.

And last, any idea when (and if) we can expect a first beta pdf book on this?
