Because it is running sucessfully for the Linux kernel community, which is probably the FOSS dev community with funkier SCM practices. If _they_ find it good, it's got to be the cat's whiskers. For example, read on Stacked GIT (StGIT) which is reproduces something kernel hackers seem to have been doing for a while with quilt, and no SCM I know of supports. And Linus' involvement has spawned an instant developer community around it. GIT is definitely ackward unless you use some shell wrappers around it. Luckily, it has 2 useable GUIs and one shell UI: Cogito. I am personally using cogito, and it is way more flexible, and way more powerful than Arch ever was. Cogito doesn't cover all the bases, some commands I still use git, but those are simple commands. The tricky part of using git is well covered. Every once in a while I still need to ask a question or two, and some things are evolving. But I am using it in production and I am as happy as pie. cheers, martin _______________________________________________ Gnu-arch-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-arch-users GNU arch home page: http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnu-arch/
