Subversion was designed to improve cvs. The newer version control programs were written to be good. Subversion does not support decentralized development and branching works, but is not standard way of use. This is bad when you work in small groups. Last year I worked together with nuage on our gradient system. When I realized I had implemented a serious bug, I had to wait about 8 hours until I had a chance to fix it. With mercurial or most other new system this would have been an issue only to me and nuage. Another good point is that you can work on a computer without internet access (like a laptop when your in the waiting room of your dentist). You can work on different branches, fix bugs in the official branch, work on your experimental branch, merge the bugfixes in your expermental branch and upload everything once you get home. > another nice approach to my knowledge is git, isn't it? Yes, but it's not supported on windows and MacOS as far as I know. -- Kai Antweiler _______________________________________________ glob2-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/glob2-devel
