I understand totally what you are saying, believe me. But you just hit on the #1 issue I have that is simply being ignored: Linus won't let you push to his repository. What happened to "in developers we trust"? Trust has to be both ways. If the vast majority of people trust Linus, and Linus doesn't let just anyone push to his repo, then how is that any different than restricting access to a centralized repository? Linus created git because he hates Subversion and CVS, not because of some sort of noble quest to give commit access to the masses. Please don't confuse the two. Ok, let me push this out further. Let's say we are using git for CakePHP. PHPNut, Nate and gwoo all have repos that you can pull from, but each one is slightly different. Which one will people want to use as the "official" source for CakePHP? Despite what you think, some people want to know that there is an official source because, shockingly, they don't want to go through the dance of picking something from repo 1, something else from repo 2 and then something else from repo 3. I could argue about this all day, but I've had enough. Dardo, we are arguing about semantics so we must agree to disagree. CakePlus is an attempt to fork CakePHP, nothing more. -- Chris Hartjes Internet Loudmouth Motto for 2008: "Moving from herding elephants to handling snakes..." @TheKeyBoard: http://www.littlehart.net/atthekeyboard --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
