Re: [JPP-Devel] Source control

[Larry B. <bec...@gm...>]

Hi Joe,

  Thanks for the link.  I haven't been keeping up enough with the Google
Talks.  Linus is always interesting, and funny!  Git sounds like a good
system, but overkill for us I think.  I enjoyed his put-down of SVN and CVS
though.  Apparently, he hates SVN even more than CVS.  I still can't believe
that SVN can't handle conflicts.  Seems like every few weeks I get a
conflict that I have to resolve by copying my changes to another document,
"override and update" and then manually rolling in the changes myself.  I
never had to do that under CVS.  It might have taken CVS an hour to do it,
but it would have let me merge my changes right in.  Of course, for the
volume of changes we generate, any old system is fine.

regards,
Larry
