Where I'm torn is that IronPython is between a rock and a hard place - on the one hand, I want to work closely with the Mono project (which would strongly imply using github), but I also want to be in sync with the Python community (which has largely embraced hg). Python's separated stdlib will be a Mercurial repo, and if IronPython were in Hg we could easily pull in the stdlib as a subrepo. However, I presume the DLR will stay on github, and we'll need to pull that in as well, which of course would be easier from git. Damned if we do, damned if we don't. I'm leaning towards Mercurial because I prefer it, and it seems like many other people do as well. I know hg can pull from git, but I don't know about the reverse. > If the concern is the UI for checking code out for Git, there is a > transparent bridge that exposes the tree to Subversion which has good > Windows clients. Tortoise-Git is actually very nice now. I don't think git's Windows support is really an issue anymore. - Jeff _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
