DVCS Workflows

Twisted is developed in a Subversion repository, but there is no reason you can't take advantage of your favorite DVCS toolchain to contribute and submit patches.

Keep in mind that unless you are a core committer, your interaction with svn basically boils down to:

# Checkout trunk
svn co svn://svn.twistedmatrix.com/svn/Twisted/trunk twisted-trunk

# Create patches
svn diff > mypatch.patch

# Keeping up-to-date with trunk:
svn up

How you choose to manage your local repository is up to you, but here are a few workflows to help:

Bazaar

The Twisted codebase is mirrored into a set of Bazaar branches, making it easy to work on trunk or any existing branches.

Git

Work is underway to maintain an official Git mirror, but it is always possible to create your own local mirror using git-svn.

See: Git Workflow

Mercurial

There are no official Mercurial mirrors. One recommended method is to use the Mercurial MQ extension.
