Just for the record: KDE, one of the biggest F/OSS projects out there, switched to SVN a few years ago. Now there are plans to switch to one of the distributed SCM systems. SVN's capabilities seem to be no longer fit for the job. The project will probably switch to GIT. Here's an article about it. The discussion may also be interesting for some of you: http://dot.kde.org/1219926799/
Some quotes: "The centralized development system in Subversion's trunk doesn't support team-based development very well, [...] KDE's current revision control system [SVN] doesn't allow for offline commits, making life harder for people without a stable internet connection. [...] Git has already stolen the hearts of many KDE developers, [...]" "Before someone claims Git isn't cross-platform, I'll jump in to say that I use Git with Linux, MacOS X, and Windows on a daily basis, and I can testify to the fact that Git works just fine in Windows now :) Oh, and Git is really not hard to learn at all; it just takes a little time to get started." There are also critical remarks, of course. But don't expect me to quote those. ;-) m. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
