Now I hope I understand all of the points in that table, and I also hope I understand git well enough, but here's a listing for git (based on my knowledge). - Protocol: dedicated / ssh / http-based/ email (at least partially). - Learning curve from CVS: medium (imho) - Network based access: No, it uses smoke signals. Doh! - Multiplatform: Yes. - Access control lists: Yes, with SSH - Read-only access to everyone: Yes - Supported by Sourceforge & co.: Yes, with SSH (though I don't think it's that relevant here). - Receive email notification upon a commit: Almost, you have to do a chmod +x on a script to enable it to be run. ( see http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/hooks.txt ) - Readily available/easily installable software: Yes - Tracking of when merges are done: Yes - Good branch handling: Yes - Efficient use of resources: From what I can tell it's impressive, the git developers say it's around an order of magnitude faster, sometimes more. It was designed with a primary focus on efficiency so I tend to think it's pretty good. - Global revisioning: Yes - support for symbolic tagging within one repository: Yes - Atomic checkins: Yes (I think) - Maximum ability to do SCCS operations without access to repository: Yes (and it's a great thing to have imho) - good binary file handling: From what I've read yes, I believe GZip compression is used on binary data. - Ability to do local branches: Yes - Rename support: Yes. - Web view of repository: Yes So this is _my_ knowledge of how git works. If it's wrong sorry for any confusions this may cause. Anyway, I'll stop zealoting for git from now on, I just think it's really cool. But even if you guys won't go with it, I would still suggest using Subversion which I believe to be better then CVS.
