Guess it's time I jump in as well, although I'm not really a committer (only a couple of small patches submitted through Jira).
Before anything, no, I haven't used GIT. I don't think this is reason enough to just disregard my comments though. :) Basically, I wouldn't mind one or the other, even if it meant adapting my tools and knowledge from SVN to GIT, the important thing to me is the project itself, not where code is stored. The one thing that is really keeping me away from GIT is the "all or nothing" nature of it. This is why I'm a Maven & SVN fan more than a GIT & ant one. Concretely, when I need to work on a module for a project at work, I simply go in eclipse, browse to the specific module, right-click the pom file and "checkout as maven project". I can then start working on the specific module right away, all dependencies configured properly. If I need to look at a dependency's code, I do the same on it and my workspace gets updated appropriately. I don't need the whole code which can take forever to compile. The fact that I need to get the whole repo to work on a single file just doesn't seem right. The single project containing everything you get after running ant eclipse in Solr also causes me headaches. You can have code working perfectly in eclipse that will not compile with ant because of project dependencies hidden while you work. But no matter what happens, I will adapt and continue using Solr and contributing when I can, because the project itself is far from looking like it's been carved on stone wall using stone axes... :P Steve ________________________________________ From: Robert Muir [rcm...@gmail.com] Sent: January 8, 2014 1:30 PM To: dev@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: The Old Git Discussion On Wed, Jan 8, 2014 at 1:25 PM, Sanne Grinovero <sanne.grinov...@gmail.com> wrote: > sake of brevity my impression is just confusion by people who are > trying to use it as it was an alias to svn.

I've also used mercurial, which was extremely intuitive and usable (I think i came up to speed on this almost immediately). The problem is not that I havent used git, and its not that i'm missing the point of distributed VC. Git is just really done badly. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
