It seems Savannah is now offering Git support: https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=4906
so instead of finishing Subversion they've decided to go with Git. This is, as far as I'm concerned, a good thing. A cherrypicking of Git's features: - file renaming support; - great distributed changeset support; others can easily track your progress. - efficiency (I find myself waiting for 'cvs diff' a lot); - offline commits so it's easy to retrace your steps when you've been without internet access for a while; - Pick your own interface: raw git, cogito, stgit, git-gui, ... And my personal favourite: no more @#$%^&# failed commits due to changes other people made in files unrelated to your commit. I don't know exactly how this will work with the "upstream" branch, which I'm assuming will be maintained by Rob. Will we still be able to merge stuff ourselves, or do we have to wait until Rob pulls from our repos? I'd like to know what other people's feelings on the subject of Git are, and in case everybody likes it, thoughts on a switching timeline would be appreciated.
