[xine-devel] Changing SCM? What about GIT?

[Diego 'F. <fla...@ge...>]

Okay so, it was already discussed to move away from CVS to something else. =
A=20
proposed alternative was subversion, as SourceForge now provide the=20
repository itself.

But I'm now wondering if git would suit better our needs, considering that =
it=20
might be worth to have branches to work with (and in git are cheaper than i=
n=20
svn, and easier to resolve conflicts with), and allowing externals to have=
=20
their own synced branch with patchset (I would use one for gentoo patches f=
or=20
instance).

I can inform myself on the conversion procedure, and all that's needed to h=
ost=20
the repo is a ssh server where to push the stuff to (SF's is fine), the=20
anonymous access would be via pure and simple HTTP, a webinterface can be=20
easily configured (gitweb).

Thoughts?
