I concur. We moved to git because CVS was outdated and difficult to use (as in no one with expertise in configuration and branches was in the core developers). The original thought was Subversion but by the time we got around to it, git had gone from a linux tree only type tool to a nice distributed version control system. > This may have been discussed on the list before I joined.

When I'm working with ASperl, I just have a cygwin window open for the git stuff. Everything else can be done from windows. There may be line ending issues but I have not experienced them with cygwin. > However, Git uses Perl, so I'm guessing there's at least a little bit > of sentimental attachment. :) It is the other way around---if anything. Perl recently changed to using git. However, that was not related other than being yet another software project switching to git. --Chris _______________________________________________ Perldl mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/perldl
