That said I would totally understand you being upset if FreeBSD would
decide to switch to git, since despite its benefits that is a huge
change, and would definitely be hard for people to adjust.
Just In Case:
FreeBSD has no plans to switch to get in either the short or long
term. We will however offer git repositories and first-class cousins
via git.freebsd.org and github.
Are you sure? Most of the diffs developers have been handing me lately are
of the form a/path b/path so I think they are mostly using git behind the
scenes.
Yes. I use git behind the scenes as well. However, so far as I am
aware, there are no plans in either the short or long terms to
*convert upstream* to git.
Thank God! I'd hate to think that after unwinding years accumulated
CVS process, to rewind it for SVN, only to have to do it again for GIT,
just seems a bit masochistic.
Is the cvs code going away? I ask because I maintain a number of local CVS
repositories of code for which I am the only developer/maintainer. I also use
grep on the repositories to find sections of code previously created and
removed for future use. I can't bill my clients for conversion to SVN so that
cost I would have to eat. I am not particularly thrilled about having to do
so. I don't need most of the CVS features. About all I do is check in.
Occasionally I botch up a module enough that I delete it and recover it from
CVS. I don't use branches or tags.
Not sure I understand your question, you will be able to continue to use
CVS from ports if you need the CVS binary.
If you want FreeBSD to continue to export the FreeBSD project code in
CVS form, that may be over or ending soon.
