Has anyone used git-flow with an existing repo? It seems like existing branches could just be renamed from "myfeature" to "feature/myfeature", etc. but I wonder if others have been down this road and have run into issues.
I've done some playing around with a dummy "existing" repo and it seems to adapt well. Upon "git flow init" it identifies existing branches and proceeds with the questionnaire in the article above associating.
Here's a gist I created showing how an existing repo (although very basic) can be adapted to use git-flow - http://gist.github.com/538326
also, if you want to fiddle with the options after you set it up with git flow init, just go to the .git/config file and change it there :)
when in doubt, look at stuff in a repo's .git/ to find what you wanna fiddle with. unless of course you want to look at user wide config file at ~/.gitconfig
