But at least two of +the dives have duplicates that were edited by Dirk in the Suunto Dive +Manager, so they don't trigger the "exact duplicates" match. + +WARNING! I wasn't kidding when I said that I've done this by reading +gtk2 tutorials as I've gone along. If somebody is more comfortable with +gtk, feel free to send me (signed-off) patches. + +Just as an example of the extreme hackiness of the code, I don't even +bother connecting a signal for the "somebody edited the dive info" +cases. I just save/restore the dive info every single time you switch +dives. Christ! That's truly lame. + +Also, I don't actually integrate directly with libdivecomputer, I just +read the XML files it can spit out. But I included my own raw dive +profile xml files for anybody who isn't a diver, but decides that they +want to educate me in gtk. + +NOTE! Some of the dives are pretty pitiful. All the last dives are from +my divemaster course, so they are from following open water students +along (many of them the confined*water dives). There a lot of the +action is at the surface, so some of the "dives" are 4ft deep and 2min +long. + +Contributing: + +Please either send me signed-off patches or a pull request with +signed-off commits. If you don't sign off on them, I will not accept +them. This means adding a line that says "Signed-off-by: Name " +at the end of each commit, indicating that you wrote the code and have +the right to pass it on as an open source patch. + +See: http://gerrit.googlecode.com/svn/documentation/2.0/user-signedoffby.html + +Also, please write good git commit messages. A good commit message +looks like this: + + header line: explaining the commit in one line + + Body of commit message is a few lines of text, explaining things + in more detail, possibly giving some background about the issue + being fixed, etc etc. + + The body of the commit message can be several paragrahps, and + please do proper word-wrap and keep columns shorter than about + 74 characters or so. That way "git log" will show things + nicely even when it's indented. + + Reported-by: whoever-reported-it + Signed-off-by: Your Name + +where that header line really should be meaningful, and really should be +just one line. That header line is what is shown by tools like gitk and +shortlog, and should summarize the change in one readable line of text, +independently of the longer explanation.
