I poked the git server at freedesktop.org, where
poppler resides,
and found what appears to be the series of commits that removed QT3
support (five on Jan. 16, 2011, plus an outlier about a month
later). Full diffs for these commits are stored, so depending on
how much the codebase has changed in the past year, we may be able
to just revert them.
That would be fantastic. I may still have all the older poppler
sources (somewhere). I we can just revert the changes in the current
code, that would be the best case, but if not, I have the last
freedesktop sources before the commits. I'll hunt them down if
needed, but I guess you GIT masters could just tell freedesktop to
spit the code out as it existed on 1/15/2011.
For my education -- "How do you do that?" Say I wanted to clone the
repository as it existed prior to the 1/16/2011 changes, what would
the git command look like?
