A related discussion reminded me of this: how would Microsoft's purchase
of GitHub affect future development? After all, they'll get to call the
shots...[*] The only good thing that came out of M$ is their RTF document
format (used natively by the Mac's TextEdit utility, for example), which
being plain ASCII can be edited directly if necessary (and I have).
I've been looking at BitKeeper, for example, the author of which (Larry
McEvoy) I happen to know from another mailing list. Apparently,
converting from Git is as simple as: "git fast-export | bk fast-import".
And no, before some here accuse me of being a shill for BK, I have nothing
to do with the product whatsoever, other than as someone looking for an
alternative to something now owned by M$ (and I've used just about
everything since SCCS).
Thanks, Dave. I had intended to bring up similar dialog, when I discovered the
announcement. Not a big loss to me, as I've always been more of a GitLab fan.
But hadn't looked at BitKeeper. Thanks for the reference!
