My experience has been quite the opposite. git merges much better than svn does and because it's so easy to merge, it gets done much more frequently, heading off a lot of conflicts. In our case, we still have a single authoritative copy that everyone pushes to. This is a much nicer environment that svnmerge.py. NB: I have not tried svn 1.5's new merge facilities as I had jumped ship by then. > > github is very interesting. > > Have you seen the messages on infra with the guy who has made a git mirror > of many of the Apache projects?

Even though I have SVN commit privs on two projects, git could be nice for local hacking at the very least. -- Kevin
