Ok, so discussion on the benefits of Git (or others) over SVN seem a bit pointless from this standpoint. > Take for example the output of 'git' > push Update remote refs along with associated objects > > That to me is a 'wtf?'

Of course it is theoretical since there's no hope (nor sense) in switching over to anything before there are tools. As is pointed out, it would make things worse for non-developres. But that doesn't mean the discussion needs to be punted indefinetly, and statements like "I don't want to learn a new SCM" are really not contributing to a discussion of the benefits a new tool would give to developers. At least I thought we were discussing exactly that. > Although there is now some progress towards D-SCM, I don't see > such a websystem happening.

I'd much rather see something like SCM support for gtranslate which would give a comfortable tool to translate and send changes to the server. -- Kalle Vahlman, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Powered by http://movial.fi Interesting stuff at http://syslog.movial.fi _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
