I don't use svn but the only benefit I see of WebKit using svn is the linear history, clean, easy to read and to explore. Git repos tend to have merging commits a lot and it leads to make bisecting/history browsing harder (my taste). Then for everything else I use git and its power locally. > > - Ryosuke > > > _______________________________________________ > webkit-dev mailing list > webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org > http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev > -- Alexis Menard (darktears) Software Engineer INdT Recife Brazil _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
