[Kaldi-developers] git

[Peter K. <pe...@pe...>]

I am a long-time Subversion user (since 2004 at least, maybe 2003 but I
can't remember that far back). I think it's a great tool and still like it.

That said, I've also been using Git for the last 3 or 4 years, and I've
come to believe it has some social aspects that help facilitate more
pick-up-and-help efforts amongst open source projects.

So while I do not want or intend to start a thread about the relative
technical merits of svn vs git, I do wonder if the Kaldi community has
discussed migrating to git and if that idea holds any merit here.

IME, git makes it easier for newcomers to try things out, contribute
small improvements and generally join-in-the-fun. I find those traits
helpful in open source projects, especially when trying to attract new
blood.

I know I can use git and svn together in my dev environment, and I will.
I just wondered if the community has had the conversation.

Thanks.
