I remember when Git was created by Linus for kernel development, and I've checked out some code here and there but didn't know more about it. I have read before about DVCS systems. Studying more today, seems there's more than just 'switching to Git' involved. By it's nature, DVCS is a philosophical and operational change too. SF can host Git, apparently we just turn on a settings checkbox. Just wanted to point out something I read, may be important: Github no longer allows separate non-versioned file uploads (binaries etc). https://github.com/blog/1302-goodbye-uploads http://sourceforge.net/blog/github-projects-downloads-are-welcome/#comments So we'd still need a host for the binaries and so on, right? Seems Github is geared towards developers and SF is friendlier for end users. (The new SF interface: Not sure if I like it over the old - must try more.) And what about importing tracker data? What about discussion board?
