My suggestion would be to petition you IDE group to support Git.

As one person I can not influence on Google Android Team that is why I'm asking everyone about taking part in my petitions. Android Community have successful petition before - result of which is presence on "developer phone" for Android Community. My reasons are simple: I trust in Android, I like it and I want to make it better. So please spent 2 minutes of your time and sign petitions if you found them close to your hart. ========= PETITION #1 ========= Change Android hosting from GIT to Subversion: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/android-svn/ Reasons are: - Subversion is also Free and Open Source; - Subversion has much better and usable GUI for all OSs; - Subversion supports all features required for proper version controlling and collaboration of large teams; - Subversion has integration with all IDEs that can be used for development of Android applications/modules; - Subversion has many web UIs for code reviewing, tracking changes, bug tracking, etc. And they are more advanced comparing to GitWeb solution; ========= PETITION #2 ========= Please provide proper support for Windows OS: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/android-win/ Reasons are: - Linux and MacOS only two major platforms and ignoring of the third major platform - Windows, is a big mistake on my mind; - Windows developers also wants to take great part in developing of Android internals; providing Android build support only for Linux and MacOS only makes "curve" of involvement into Android development very low; - Windows support will increase community size greatly; more details about supported platforms can be extracted from http://source.android.com/download Thanks --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
