Re: [Rails-devel] Idea: migrating away from cvs.

[Erik V. <eri...@xs...>]

I have only a little experience with SVN, and none with Git, so I can't
offer much help in this decision.

Most important for me is ease of use from Eclipse and the quality of the
integration with Eclipse.
With SVN, I have found that I also needed TortoiseSVN to resolve some
conflicts that I could't fix from Eclipse 
(these problems were probably caused by my own undisciplined use of SVN).

Subject: [Rails-devel] Idea: migrating away from cvs.

As we're all probably aware, CVS is ancient technology.   Rails is
only really using it because it was the default for a Sourceforge
project when I signed up.

After nearly 5 years of development, our repository has gotten a bit
crufty and is starting to show some of it's warts. Performance doing
checkouts has started to suffer a bit.

What do you guys think about looking at other options?

For the last year at $dayjob, I've been using Git (http://git-scm.com)
a lot, and I really enjoy it.  Looks like there's an Eclipse plugin
for git (http://www.eclipse.org/egit/).

Sourceforge supports using Subversion, Git, Mercurial, Bazaar, and CVS.

I've personally got experience with CVS, Subversion, and Git. I've
only used Mercurial once or twice, which isn't enough to really have
an opinion of it.

Overall, my experience is that Git is light years ahead of CVS and
Subversion.

What are everyone else's thoughts and experiences?
Is this something worth doing?
Do you want to stay with CVS?
Do you hate me because you're a new committer and you just got your
environment set up, and now I'm proposing changing it?  ;-)
