Yeah, I am not against DRCS at all, in fact I cannot stand using svn or any CRCS, what I was pointing out is that basically everyone is calling for using git while superior alternatives to git exists out there. I am not a user of Mercurial for example, but I think it is the DRCS out there that gives a very good balance between ease of use, speed and functionalities. Actually I use bzr daily, but I cannot claim that bzr is very fast (the upcomming 0.92 is supposed to be quite fast). I think that both bzr and mercurial give a better balance than git, which is indeed very fast on posix systems, but ad Ross said a while ago : "Git is a good core of a yet to be written revision control system". I think that Git is to revision control system, what Autotools is to build systems. I am just afraid that everyone is calling for using Git, without even considering the existing and less hyped alternatives. And again don't get offended by what I say ;) I am just calling for a fair comparison of the tools, instead of a biased one :) -- Ali http://asabil.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
