================================================================ HOWTO ===========================================================

Checking out the repository for editing under your username:
git clone http://your-username@scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/tde

Adding files:
git add *

Committing changes to your local copy:
git commit -a

Pushing all committed changes in your local copy to the master server:
git push origin master

================================================================= NOTE ============================================================
GIT cannot store empty directories due to a design limitation.

Therefore, this command should be run prior to any commits to ensure your empty directories stick around:

find . -type d -empty -exec touch {}/.gitignore \;

================================================================ WORKFLOW ==========================================================


git clone http://your-username@scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/tde

<make your changes, test, etc>

cd <repository checkout directory>
find . -type d -empty -exec touch {}/.gitignore \;
git add *
git commit -a
git push origin master
