Comment on Moving Files from one Git Repository to Another, Preserving History by Greg Bayer

Thanks for the suggestion. You can actually use this approach to move an arbitrary set of files by first moving them into a temporary directory. Because of this, the current title seems to be appropriate and more general.

Sorry, I meant: change “Files” to “one directory” or “a directory”.

Great post, thank you. One suggestion: change the title as follows: s/Files/one directory/.

Yes. For us, it’s definitely still feasible to use it with the new pricing. Try it out and let me know if you find that it ends up costing more than another approach.

is it still feasible to use it now after GAE released its new pricing schema ?

Comment on How To Use a Commuter Check Card to Purchase a Caltrain Monthly Pass by Greg Bayer

Here’s a common question and my answer.

“Do you know why my clipper card told me I have negative funds when I tagged on? Do I have to tag when I have a monthly pass?”

Yes. It’s really dumb!

Here are (some of) the rules:
– You must alway have at leave $1.25 balance on your card, or your monthly pass wont work.
– If you buy a monthly pass at somewhere like Walgreens, it loads onto your card right away and you never have to tag on-off.
– If you get a pass via the online system, you must tag on-off one time at the beginning of each month to “load” the pass onto your card.
– If you have a negative balance now, you will have to add money to bring the balance to $1.25 before you can continue to use your pass.

Typical response: “None of this makes any sense!!”

Agreed! The autoload program via Clipper works great and is what I’m using now! The main problem I’ve seen with this system is you have to tag on & off the first time you ride each month. It’s easy to forget this seemingly pointless step.

Need to add a git fetch between steps 4 and 5 for the new repository to retrieve the tags and history

Corrections and Updates:

Monthly Caltrain passes are no longer able to be purchased at Walgreens. Everything is done through Clipper now.

You should make the distinction between a Commuter Check non-personalized Card and a re-loadable personalized Card. The personalized card works seamlessly with the Clipper program through Autoload; it can also be sued at any of the 400 retail outlets for Clipper. Commuter Check also now offers direct loading of Caltrain passes onto the Clipper Card.
