The major problem with git from a freenet pov is that it is unix

Mercurial (http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi) which
was started at
the same time as git with the same goals. There is a windows
version and it is being
used by the Xen project. From what I understand its storage model
is not quite as
freenet friendly as (unpacked) git. Either of these managers would
make distributed
development easier.
Subversion seems like the obvious choice to me. It was created by
the same people that created CVS, and thus switching to it should
cause minimal disruption. It has cross platform support, and there
is a Subversion plugin for Eclipse. I have personally used
Subversion on a number of projects and have no complaints about it.
Is its architecture suitable? Each client having a full copy of the
repository would be highly preferable, as would a more or less P2P
compatible architecture (not needing to connect to a central server
for
everything).
Well, what is the goal here?
If our goal is to find something more stable than Sourceforge's CVS,
then Subversion running on dodo is probably the best option.
If it is to do source control over Freenet then I think we are
talking about a *big* project, and we shouldn't be spending time on
it right now (it is really something for a third party to work on
after we have stabilised 0.7).
