Drupal’s popularity has really taken off on these parts – the last year has seen amazing growth, from a few hobbyists people meeting in Copenhagen now and then to large and respectable organisations deploying Drupal in really ambitious projects.

One of the things I have noticed as a result of the change, is how many that do not understand the why’s and the how’s of Drupal’s development.

For some weeks, I have on-and-off been trying to create my own mirror of cvs.drupal.org in Git, and now it seems I've finally succeeded.

I have set it up with Gitweb and everything, and it seems to have complete fidelity with regards to the original data. It has all the branches/heads and tags that Drupal has, meaning that you can use checkouts from this reppository to keep your Drupal installations up-to-date.

Here's the links:

Gitweb: http://git.lion47.com/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi
Repository (git clone this): http://git.lion47.com/drupal.git/

I was doing some work on a site today, and I found me in a bit of a jam. I'd rather not spend a lot of time (as I have done so far) writing all kinds of code to get aroud Drupal's default styling.

I'd also rather not completely forego Drupal's CSS, because nice modules like admin menu depends on it. So what to do?
