If you are currently using Subversion then there is masses to be gained by moving to Git in line with the rest of the D development effort. I guess GCC itself is still Subversion? Bazaar is a GNU project, and this tipped the balance such that Emacs was pushed to shift from Subversion to Bazaar. The change caused a lot of heated aggravation between the Bazaar, Mercurial and Git advocates. Normal then ;-) I don't know which direction the GCC crew would go, but I guess GDC needs to ensure it is compatible -- though Git, Mercurial and Bazaar can always work with a Subversion repository, Bazaar in a much smoother DVCS way that the other two. > I could ask around, they'd probably tell me to fork off though. 8-) Or they might say "about forking time" ;-) -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@russel.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
