Personally I like git and tend to use it at home as well as work. It does have a learning curve that can be difficult but I think the benefits outweigh this. I also don't mind svn and git-svn seems to be a good bridge between the two.
The only issue that I see with switching to a different SCM is that will draw a large amount of resistance from the silent masses. I have been through some attempts to change SCM and it is never an easy change. What may seem like a logical and simple change will meet with issues before it is over. With that said, I personally think it is worth investigating. -Erik -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Fish [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, February 22, 2013 9:56 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [edk2] Git as an svn alternative - was [PATCH] Fix broken IA32 ...

The biggest thing that slowed me down moving to git was having to think differently as git has a different philosophy than svn. IMHO git is the Microsoft Office of source control. There are lots and lots of cool features, but some times it makes it hard when you start to figure out how to do simple things.
