Bah, I just saw a rather cheap 1TB disk offered in the ads of a shop
that focuses on books, music CDs and paper stuff. I guess that a
few MB more aren't really an issue nowadays. Hereby I withdraw the
above consideration. So what's left as an argument against switching
to GIT right away? That's after some more discussions and tests, of
course. :-)
And by the way: an SVN checkout keeps two copies of every single
file. And for most files that copy takes about as much disk space as
the *whole* history of that file in GIT, which includes all file
revisions! (IIRC)
m.
PS: I didn't mention the old CVS bug as a complaint, but just as the
reason for my doubts that a switch to SVN would really be an
intermediate step, at least not for the next few years. I'm aware
that Curt actually doesn't have a lot of time. And it's also not
that he didn't spend a lot of it on fgfs already, of course --
probably more then most others. He just happens to do a lot of the
"boring" stuff that's much less user-visible and doesn't cause
much cheering, but is the base for all the "cool" stuff. I'm just
glad that I don't have to care for the servers and SCM etc. :-)
PPS: Can we please have ATOM/RSS back for the forum? :-P
