hallo hans, there was a intensive discussion about DVCS in the groovy mailinglist some weeks ago.
the overall outcome was - if i remember it right - that for codehaus-hosted projects it's wise to stay with svn as long as codehaus does not support DVCS. i did some minor investigations in DVCS recently ... for my company, which uses cvs and cmSynergy today, my recomandation is, to migrate from cvs to svn, drop cmSynergy and introduce a DVCS (may be bazaar). svn would be master and DVCS can be used where enhanced flexibility is needed (working offline or so). decision to drop svn in favour of DVCS may be made sometimes later ... based on experiences. bazaar shines esp. with its workflows. but there is a lack of integration with our set of development-tools -> eclipse and hudson for instance. regards h. denk hdockter wrote: > > Hi, > > I had the first time a closer look at distributed VCS systems.
