I agree with your conclusions but not your premises <smile>. Many of Boy am I surprised ;-) the dvcs tools have been around for a long time (in software years), are used by zillions of people and work much better than CVS for lots and lots of use cases. OTOH, I no longer see the point of Subversion since it, at least, is not better enough than CVS. If you do decide to move and do decide to use a DVCS, then I'd vote ah, I thought YOU were asking, I'm just a run-over bystander that we use git (I'm personally a big darcs fan but bit has much greater momentum, is "more" cross-platform and is building a bigger echo-system, ummm, ecosystem.) Other thoughts? Just one Please leave a method for those folkes interested in a silly idea, they just want to utilize the software, not master a rcvs system to get it. It used to be that a hyperlink to a tar file download was pretty common, but recently those have disappeared. Just include one. r |
