Oren,
What stats do you use to say Git is more popular?
I think they both have lots of followers.
I'm slightly biased towards HG, because it has an easier learning curve and
it doesn't have the "non-native" feel of Git on Windows.
Regarding the specific points you mentioned: aren't those just Github
features whose current implementation you like instead of Hg/Git
differences?
In any case, here's my 2c regarding source:
- There seems to be a consensus to move to a DVCS. Nobody wants to stay
with SVN
- As others said, after the release might be a good time to do the move
- IMO, the decision should be done first by the committers and, if there
isn't a clear winner, by the contributors. How about a poll?
And regarding the site (in no particular order):
- I've said it before: the current state of NH identity is just terrible.
Searches for "nhibernate" "nhibernate source" "nhibernate bug tracker"
"nhibernate docs" and "nhibernate binaries" should all point to a unified
site.
- I don't have anything against Jira per se, but having it redirect to an
IP is just unprofessional
- SourceForge still feels like 1999. I really like Google Code, I dislike
CodePlex, and GitHub is meh. But the decision should be made by those in
charge of maintaining it.
