Yes it was quite fascinating to watch him talk.... I don't want ti high jack the thread, but maybe have a look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dhZ9BXQgc4 this talk about git by one of the other main dev's , it's much more informative about how git actually works. don't let linus's talk keep you away from git, that would be a real shame.
and btw git can inter-operate with svn. I've used it to clone the wicket-contrib-groovy project to http://github.com/astubbs/wicket-contrib-groovy/tree/wicket1.3Compilecompat so i can do some work on it. it's pretty neat :) you're right, it is a bad attitude. But I think he's a got a point about strong opinions. the world suffers from so much apathy, a strong opinion can be useful to get actual movement out of people. ___________________________ http://stubbisms.wordpress.com http://stubbisms.wordpress.com Gerolf Seitz wrote: > >> >> and don't even get me started on the talk you mentioned... >> > > to make this clear: > the talk is held by Linus Torvalds and most of the time he's bitching > about > how bad CVS is and how stupid the SVN guys are (with SVN devs sitting > in the audience) for trying to fix something which is inherently broken > (meaning centralized vcs) and how great he is, because he hacked it > together in probably only an afternoon (don't remember the exact > timespan). > > sry, but i just can't stand such attitude, which is why i've never taken a > closer > look at git after watching the talk. > > Gerolf > > > >> >> Gerolf >> >> >> On Fri, Mar 21, 2008 at 11:33 AM, Antony Stubbs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> wrote: >> >> > >> > Switch your vcs to http://git.or.cz/ git ( >> > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XpnKHJAok8 intro ), then merging won't >> > be a >> > problem. >> > >> > Johan Compagner wrote: >> > > >> > > But doing a 1.4 release so quickly with only generics means for me >> > > merging of 3 branches. >> > >> > -- >> > View this message in context: >> > >> http://www.nabble.com/Planning-Wicket-Next-Generation-tp16046194p16196479.html >> > Sent from the Wicket - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. >> > >> > >> > > -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Planning-Wicket-Next-Generation-tp16046194p16196735.html Sent from the Wicket - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
