Hey folks,
I have been looking at and working with Git for the last four or five weeks
and I must say that I?m very impressed by it. It?s easy to use, it?s
extremely powerful, it enables developers to perform the most tedious tasks
in a very short time and in general simply wipes the floor with
subversion. :)
It is possible to import subversion repositories into Git, keeping the
complete history and even branches, and it?s even possible to commit changes
made in a local repository back to subversion; I just tested that tonight
when I fixed nextgens? backport of toad?s BucketChainBucket?it even made
finding the bug simple.
Git repositories can be served by a special git-daemon or by a normal,
run-off-the-mill HTTP server without any special modules. No DAV, no CGI, no
nothing, just plain HTTP.
I?d suggest that we move to Git rather sooner than later; most of the trouble
we had with bug #2440 (which resulted from the faulty backport) would never
have occured in the first place with Git. (Sure, of course you can make
changes in the wrong branch but Git will happily apply a commit from one
branch to another so the backport could have been done in two minutes.)
Anybody in favor? Anybody opposed?
David
