Hi, I'm wondering whether we should switch from SVN to Git. There are at least a couple of developers in addition to me who have raised the same question.
In comparison with SVN, Git has clear advantages as I see it. The main advantages are: - Distributed version control system, checkin/checkout possible without Internet access. - Developers can do local commits when working on something, without affecting the other developers. - Easy branching and easy merging of branches compared to SVN. - Smaller working copy size, even though the full history is available offline (!) Kolja sent me this link to a page where the advantages of Git are discussed: http://en.whygitisbetterthanx.com/ The main drawback is that all contributors need to learn how to use Git - although it's not a very big leap from SVN. I'd like to hear what views you have on this - should we go for the switch? -- Morten ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ Jabref-devel mailing list Jabref-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jabref-devel
