For my 2 cents:
The dcvs systems are still too user unfriendly (though git is the
only one I've
used for more than toying around, I've looked at a couple others at
least a little).
I don't think they are user unfriendly, is just a mind change you have
to do. It's hard to change, it might have a steep learning curve, but
once you set your mind around it, it's really easy to use (and very
friendly, really, they put a lot of focus on usability; and I'm
talking
about git too).
steep learning curve == user unfriendly
Anything is usable with enough practice...
Additionally, I don't find the "put ready patches in bugzilla" to be
particularly problematic at all from my end.
Me either! I'm not suggesting stop using bugzilla at all! What I
suggest
is to keep bugzilla as it is, but add a simple extra line "You can
pull
this patch from my repo at URL, branch BRANCH".
The Walter's job goes from:
1) Copy the text from bugzilla
2) Open a text file
3) Paste the text
4) Save the text file
5) Apply the patch
5bis) Maybe modify the patch in some way
6) Commit, writing a commit message
To:
1) run git pull URL BRANCH
You're stacking the deck by skipping steps you put in the other list.
You can see the current approach is a lot of work for Walter (maybe he
has some more efficient system than this, but it's a lot of work
anyways).
I agree it'd be slightly easier on Walter after he had practice.
