fwiw, i suspect most of us that have voted simply prefer working with git over svn
certainly anyone that has had to manage branching and merging with svn vs git would understand...it is simply better with git. sorry you had management push you to use Hg, but git is a solid upgrade over svn at this point....look at the eclipse foundation, svn was trying to replace cvs there for years and with cvs being turned off everyone is going to git, and its but a nice upgrade. svn was never natively supported out of the gate with eclipse without extra installation steps...git is native in eclipse with the egit project. cvs is being turned off soon there and afaik no project chose to migrate to svn from cvs, they simply switched to git :) cheers, jesse -- jesse mcconnell jesse.mcconn...@gmail.com On Wed, Sep 5, 2012 at 8:05 AM, Chris Graham <chrisgw...@gmail.com> wrote: > It's not a matter of thinking that git is like SVN at all. > > It's the exact opposite in fact; they are different, to the extent that it > entails a whole new approach. > > We have a well resourced, well understood, well supported tool and mature > practices with our current SVN. > > All I am saying is that we really should stop and think as to whether we want > to throw that out.
