Checkout github pull requests locally

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 = [email protected]: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:

conversation about using Riak for a Rails 3 project

	11:55 <pferdefleisch> yo yo yo, I would like to use riak as a file serving
	db for a rails 3 project. I am wondering if you can use ripple to save
	images. I looked through the code(specifically casting.rb) and didn't see
	an image or binary type. This makes me think that I need to use the riak_client
	gem and set content type "image/jpg" or the like.

	11:56 <pferdefleisch> so, can i even use the riak_client gem -- and -- is this even
	a good idea in the first place?

	11:56 <pferdefleisch> thx!

brief chat about some cluster testing basics

	12:27 <nginr> Hi .. Need a suggestion. I want to test the behaviour of my
	cluster as the data in the cluster keeps on increasing. Upto 1 TB.
	I want to test the behaviour of Read, Write and Search. Is it possible to do with curl ??

	12:28 <chids> nginr: Possible to do what with curl - execute read,
	write and search requests?

	12:28 <aphyr> PBC or erlang might be faster, but I've used the HTTP interface
	for testing in our ruby app
