== DESCRIPTION:
=== What is GrowthSpurt?
It's a utility for creating branches in Git and automatically creating/updating change files based on commit messages.
=== Why GrowthSpurt?
I originally wrote this in order help automate builds of our Ruby code into a Java/Maven-centric company build process. Most of the company dealt with Subversion, but I wanted to use Git. Most of the company coded in Java and managed builds/deployments with Maven, but I wanted to use Ruby and Capistrano. I lost on the Capistrano-vs-Maven front, but I was able to continue using Ruby and Git. So, this script was built to automate branching in Git in a standard Major.Minor.Micro format (eg. 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.3) and pushing those branches to a remote repository, and then using Git to create a CHANGES file and a changes.xml file. The latter is used by Maven's Changes plugin (http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-changes-plugin/).
== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:
* create CHANGES and changes.xml files based on commit messages from Git for any digit.digit.digit branch, as well as the master branch
* can create a new remote and local tracking branch for the new "growth" (branch)
* doesn't handle Nano format branches (eg. 1.2.3.45)
* once on the branch the check-in of the change files isn't happening properly because they aren't being added
* when creating a new version of this project the gemspec file needs to be updated
== SYNOPSIS:
To get a synopsis, run growthspurt -h
== REQUIREMENTS:
* grit 1.1.1
* facets 2.5.2 (in particular, dictionary & enumerable
== INSTALL:
* sudo gem install grit facets
* sudo gem install jacaetevha-growth-spurt
