Install/configure/integrate/maintain 3 apps (apache/trac/git) is a pain. And after all you don't get the consistency of one monolith tool. Besides that I find fossil(escpecially conflict resolution) more intuitive than git. See also: http://fossil-scm.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/fossil-v-git.wiki

Furthermore I have no problems with not going mainstream (as long you follow the principle from Pirkei Avot: "רַבִּי אוֹמֵר, אַל תִּסְתַּכֵּל בַּקַּנְקַן, אֶלָּא בַמֶּה שֶׁיֵּשׁ בּוֹ."). The reason why git is so popular (besides the fact that it is indeed better than svn and cvs) is because it was initiated by Linus Torvalds and is used in Linux Kernel project, however 99.9% of projects using git are neither of the size nor do they have the requirenmets of it. > > And then again, there are a number of distributed bug tracking systems: > http://dist-bugs.branchable.com/software/ yes, but they are not integrated in one tool... > > > BTW: Github is not distributed.

Another reason not to use it. _______________________________________________ Discussions mailing list [email protected] http://hamakor.org.il/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discussions
