Heikki and I are both BIG git users, and I think Andrew, Simon, and Alvaro all use it too, though I'm not sure to what extent. Tom and Bruce don't, AFAIK, but I don't believe that either of them are waving their arms and shouting "no, no, no". At least, Tom isn't: and if Bruce does, well, I know where he lives. A couple of random things I'm concerned about: - the buildfarm, obviously, has got to work - we've still got to be able to send out automatic emails to committers, and they need to not suck (I'm deliberately not specifying what exactly that means because I don't know and I don't in any case want to overspecify, but certainly suckage is imaginable) - we need to make sure that all the committers understand how to keep the history the way we want it - i.e. linear, without merges, and possibly even implement programmatic safeguards against doing anything else ...Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
