Riccardo/Banlu, CVS hasn't seen an update in many years and has several shortcomings which do not need to be explained or discussed here. Indeed, it would lengthen the thread by many orders of magnitude to do so.
SVN is a good middle ground. It fits GNUstep's needs very well at this point. GIT is, in my opinion, too complicated for small to mid sized projects to use. GIT is useful when you have a large number of contributors where you are trying to keep several different branches going and pick and choose commits from any of those branches. This is, indeed, what GIT was designed for. We don't have this problem as much as I wish we did. :) We have no need of GIT's complexity on GNUstep and we also very badly needed to move away from CVS's relative obsolescence (and, no, I'm not kidding...CVS, while good in it's day has, indeed, SEEN it's day). When something does come along which suits the needs of this project better, then I'm sure we will all, as a group, determine what's best.
