Hey guys, tldr: I propose we move our repository from Subversion to Git.
The merits of distributed version control, and Git in particular, have been informally discussed quite often, and I guess most of us agree that there is a benefit to using them. If someone disagrees with that, please speak up! My proposal therefore would be to move Amdatu to Git, and given the fact that we use the Atlassian toolchain, it probably makes the most sense to use Bitbucket (which was acquired by Altassian some time ago) because it offers us the best integration with the rest of their toolchain (integrating with JIRA [1], Bamboo [2] and Confluence [3]). For working with Git, on the Mac there are a couple of great tools as well. SourceTree [4] is free and works great, and a lot of people seem to be using Tower [5] or Github for Mac [6] as well (for more background, see this extensive thread at StackOverflow [7], which seems to favor SourceTree). I have no experience with similar tooling for Windows, but Tortoise always seems a popular choice for CVS and SVN and they do have a version that supports Git [8] as well and this page [9] discusses other options. WDYT?
