I have always taken this conversation as Git Vs. SVN, not GitHub. I think it's clear that the technical arguments of X Vs. Y are thin. The real issue I don't see addressed enough is the culture change. PhoneGap is strong, but it isn't immune to defection if the cultural changes imvolved in moving to SVN are perceived to be greater by the community than the move to Apache. Community shocks have occurred in the past and sunk projects. I am on the fence about this.

Are we mixing up the arguments for GitHub with those for Git? I mostly read arguments for Git, with a "GitHub is a convenience". That's certainly how I feel. - eduard/o On Thu, Nov 17, 2011 at 6:00 AM, Ross Gardler <[email protected]>wrote: > > > It's not the tools I care about. It's the processes.
