Piston Description
A Ruby utility that uses Subversion to manage local copies of upstream vendor branches Ease your vendor branch management worries with Piston, a free and open source tool to copy upstream / vendor code to your own repository, while preserving your local patches.A vendor branch is when you copy a vendor's code (plugins, gems, etc) inside your own repository / project.What are the advantages of doing that?· You don't depend on another repository to deploy to your staging or production machines;· You are insulated from upstream changes, until you really want those changes and have a chance to test them;· Piston allows you to apply local patches to your vendor code, until the upstream maintainers have applied them.NOTE: Piston is licensed and provided under the terms of the MIT/X Consortium License.
