Hi Carol, historically things change when people take the time and effort to make things happen. If we, in this apache flex project, wants GIT, mentors and the ASF will make it happen. Infra will get full git support before, if we are another grain of sand wanting that support.
But again, I'm defending Git, not because "it's a cool SCM", or because "is a techy discussion", or whatever people would like to say. I'm defending Git because I think we need it to take flex to the next level and think SVN will not. I'm talking (or writing) from the knowledge of both systems, and this is something not everybody in the thread discussion could say. So I will say that people should vote for Git, because think is needed (or almost good) for the project not becasue it has some level of support, because we will make Infra to support it we as a group choose that concrete SCM because the project need it. 2012/8/13 Carol Frampton <cfram...@adobe.com> > Dave, > > I'd like to vote with you but I am still pondering the situation.
