Hi all, I agree with Farrukh that it would be best to migrate to a distributed VCS directly, instead of first migrating to SVN first and then to a distributed VCS second. If we want a distributed VCS it's better to dive into it now, so we can get experienced with it. Also, Git is supported by SF (unlike Hg, as I am now aware). That said, I still have worries about Git on Windows, since my work laptop is a Windows machine. Does Farrukh or anyone else has experience with Git command line clients on windows? I would like to be able to interact with Git outside of Eclipse. The msysGit project looks promising, so I will definitely download that and give it a testdrive. If anyone has experience with Git on Windows, and can testify it works, then I would be all for Git. How about Erdem, and the others? I have good faith that all the major IDEs will be supporting Git, since Eclipse and IntelliJ already do. Should we however decide on SVN then I would be willing to do the migration.
