Fellow Committers,

I've gotten a Git clone of the SVN repository configured to receive
actual writes. Now for everyone to try writing to it start causing
mischief.

Things that committers should do:

    1. Clone the repository
    2. Edit the AUTHORS file marking their entry with something like "GIT OK"
      so that I know who can write to the repository
    3. Try and kill the repository

For 1, there are instructions here:

    http://git-wip-us.apache.org

Basically to clone:

    $ git clone https://git.apache.org/repos/asf/couchdb.git

There are instructions on how to configure a .netrc file on that page
so you don't have to type your password every time you want to push.

For 3, I'd like everyone to start trying to do mean things to this
repository. Try to rewind trunk or master. The only branches that are
protected are master, trunk and anything starting with rel/. Try
pushing commits by people that aren't couchdb committers. Anything you
can think of. Other things to try are to include UTF-8 data in commit
messages or in Git committer names and the like.

If you get any sort of backtrace when you git push to that repository
please copy paste the entire command and output and send me an email
with what you were trying to do with the paste.

Until then, happy hunting.
