Curt, apparently you insist on getting things wrong.
Yes, I do prefer using GIT and I agree with _everything_ that Melchior
has been adding to this discussion (including him taking back the
paragraph about disk usage). But this is _not_ the point !!
In fact we didn't have a _single_ !! person stating that MSysGit "does
not work". There was a sole person claiming that he didn't get it to
work, but was uncertain wether he knew how to use it properly. Period.
The remaining statements concerning GIT on Windows have been nothing
but guesses and assumptions (better known as "FUD") and I expect an
experienced project coordinator being able to tell the difference.
_This_ is the point which sheds an ugly light onto the whole topic.
Adding to that, you have still failed to deliver a reason (aside from
spreading "FUD") why the project should _not_ have _one_ official GIT
mirror of the existing CVS (or maybe SVN) repositories - no matter
who's going to run it in the end. In the end, you're wasting developer
resources by thwarting the efficiency of not all but at least some of
the involved people and you don't have a single point.
This is really getting somewhat problematic.
Regards,
Martin.
