I tried explaining *why* I've grown to prefer using it over svn... but most of these people seemed stuck on the fact that git is new, and very much hyped-up and _supports_ a model of development that they are not used to, never mind comfortable with. However, if one forgets everything they think they know about git... it turns out that just like SVN is a better CVS, git can be a better SVN! And... when you need to do some things that SVN can simply never support (at least not without substantial effort)... chances are you *can* with git. > Can you get git for a Nokia N810? :-) I'll have to double-check, but I believe it will build on most systems with a working gcc toolchain... and not necessarily a recent one! (ask uri about his experience on an *old* Solaris box) I already know it works on ARM, SPARC, and Itanium based platforms, so there's a good possibility you can compile a working build from source on your Nokia (A TI chip, right?) _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list Boston-pm@mail.pm.org http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
