Matt, Please read what I have said, I am not painting it as bad, I have clearly stated that Git is better in decentralized environments. The OP seems to be a small company that is all in house, Git is not designed to be good in those conditions at least my experience across large/small centralized teams has been SVN to be the best in those circumstances.
And agreed there is a learning curve over all, regardless of which ever option the OP takes. Git is not the defacto standard either that is a crock of shot Matt, again one seriously needs to work out which is better for them. If they need a decentralized over centralized then Git is the cheapest solution to go with. -- Regards, Andrew Scott WebSite: http://www.andyscott.id.au/ Google+: http://plus.google.com/113032480415921517411 On Thu, Jan 31, 2013 at 2:52 AM, Matt Quackenbush <[email protected]>wrote: > > On Wed, Jan 30, 2013 at 9:35 AM, Andrew Scott wrote: > > > In Open Source and the like I would recommend Git or the > > like, but expect a very huge learning curve. > > > > > The context of the OP is that of getting started with source control - any > source control.
