Re: Move to Git?

[Greg Huber]

Dave,

I am not really against using git, probably the way to go, just not on my
own projects.  Just prefere the svn way, tend to use the view svn compare
alot and never really got to grips with git, the compare, switching
branches etc.  Its a different way of working, too complicated/much for my
needs.

Yes the develop branch is the flow process to release.

Cheers Greg.
