Dear Git users, I have finally started using Git, some years after most others here. I must say that I like it, or at least most of it, and can see how the ease of working with branches is ideal when experimenting with new code in a big complex project like GeoTools. However, I'm much less enthusiastic about git-svn. I've experimented with "git svn clone -r N" to clone trunk, but didn't like the endless warnings messages or the sluggish speed on my modest internet line. I also note the numerous queries and complaints on StackOverflow and other forums about git-svn problems when working with large repos.
As an alternative I'm trying the git+svn approach detailed here: http://lostechies.com/derickbailey/2010/02/03/branch-per-feature-how-i-manage-subversion-with-git-branches/ As the author makes clear, this approach involves a cost in terms of extra steps and exercising care about the state of your master branch, but overall it seems very workable. Does anyone have any comments about whether this is a good / bad / ugly approach ?
