Git is interesting and all, and may offer some development advantages, but I keep harking back to 2 statements made earlier in this thread: 1) that we're interested in performance, and 2) the developer base is pretty small vs the userbase. In terms of (1), git may run slightly faster in some cases, but you're saying it's actually a little worse for checkouts (especially fresh ones, which I would not be surprised to find most users doing as they build or use Gentoo or whathaveyou). More importantly, this isn't a thread about developers or even would-be developers complaining it's too hard to do what they want to contribute to the source tree due to the SCM choice. This is all about users checking out code that's in development. Personally I don't get why we're not creating nightly diffs and a tarball once a week and letting people use that (it's not exactly difficult to script). I highly doubt most users care about checkins in the last few hours, and I suggested doing so I think way back in January on IRC.. term (I had a few minutes to read e-devel. It happens.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
