Hi all, since I have no experience with the disctributed VCS so far, I was not in favor of that, but always, I take your considerations into account, I will have a look at Git and Hg, and then see if and how SourceForge supports that, then we can decide how to proceed with that, best regards, Erdem ________________________________ From: Edwin Commandeur <com...@gm...> To: gwt...@li... Sent: Tuesday, March 3, 2009 12:07:23 AM Subject: Re: [Gwt-openlayers-devl] Devl mailing list 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. Greetings, Edwin 2009/3/2 Farrukh Najmi <fa...@we...> Just to be clear. You opt for migrating from CVS to svn then perhaps later to git or hg? Why not just stay with cvs until we go to git or hg? Why migrate twice? IMHO svn's advantages over cvs are modest. That said I will be fine with going to svn if that is a popular option and if someone else does the migration. Thanks.
