I think using the command line is pretty much the only "complete" option at this point. :) I'm interested in hearing the "why" to these assertions. And the "how". =) Are you using Gerrit (enables a more centralized usage of Git)? Are you doing "pyramid" development (is one person "in charge")? "Saving" both histories of a merge is cool, but it's also potentially messy (at least in my experience). You pretty much *have* to edit commits, if you want what I want, and that Brian was talking about: the ability to commit early, and commit often. Hopefully I'm wrong here, but I haven't found a way out yet. :) I love the PGP stuff in Git, that's just tits. Tagging is pretty sweet too (stores the author and whatnot). That said, some cool stuff has come to SVN with 1.5+. Have you used any of the new features, like merge tracking, and reintegrate? Mostly I think we'd all get something good from some details. Where there any downsides? Etc.. I've been trying to keep people posted as I play, and learn (here and on the CFE list, etc.), but I'm just one dude (or maybe I'm a chick, if you haven't met me IRL =]), and I'm admittedly biased. I do try to provide useful information. :DeN -- Do or Do not. There is no try. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:333518 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
