# USAGE:
# reason for this is because sometimes you want to know when the originating code/comment/whatever was brought into the repo
# but you end up following a trace of lots of commits that just moved around the original chunk of code.
# this uses git bisect to trace back to the original commit that has this text in the repo.
# depends on ack, but you could easily change this to use `grep -r`
#
# $ git-find-original "some search string that you want to find the original commit that had this exact text"

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

Testing HTTP APIs with Ruby

Good integration tests are hard. There are many approaches for testing server and client libraries all with various tradeoffs and problems that come up. Some are obvious, some are a little more tricky. I'll run through some approaches I've come across developing server APIs along with their corresponding clients, while developing these in a highly distributed systems setup at Engine Yard.
