Yes, I now use git-svn on most of my projects now. I use SVK when there are many subprojects in the same repository, because they can share downloaded revisions that way. I like it a lot, it gives me all the nice features I missed from darcs. The UI is horrible though, and unlike SVK which is pretty much subversion's command set with a few additional commands, git is also horribly documented (the best resources are usually google and people's blogs), and the commands are named in a way that makes perfect sense, but only after you've actually understood what it's for and how it works. > Has anyone used perforce?

It's really constrained into the corporate mindset of "The IT department knows best" and is kind of limiting that way. It's like subversion, but branching support actually exists (there are proper ways to merge branches, cherry pick, etc). I personally prefer both SVK and git over perforce. SVK adds everythings that's missing from subversion and gives you disconnected operations too. -- Yuval Kogman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://nothingmuch.woobling.org 0xEBD27418
