The ARM subgroup likewise and on and on. Up the chain of command people pull from the trunks below them. Linus has release authority. Git doesn't change that.

If your remote Subversion server crashes, all you got left is your latest checkout without the full history unless you rsync'd a copy of the server repository to your laptop. Git combines both of these errands into one. Less work. > Multiple parallel trunks seem problematic. I wonder if this is mainly because our brains have been doing centralized SCM for so long. Hey I'm skeptical too but Linus says it "just works". Chris -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
