My question is then whether moving to git is worth the trouble and
whether it will encourage contributions by making it easier for
developers to contribute. From a strictly personal point of view, the
fact that git works in disconnected mode is a killer feature.
Since you are the project leader, and the primary committer, I
believe you should do whatever you think allows you to be more
efficient while still allowing others to provide patches.
I agree with Robert that good tooling is essential.
There is a Java implementation of git available at
http://www.jgit.org/ so I guess tooling (Maven, Eclipse) is really
just a question of time. The current IDEA is already supporting git.
I've never used GIT beside checking out a repository but I have only
heard praise from people that are using it regularly. For Windows,
http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/ seems to do a pretty good job.
For Mac OS X there's a tool called GitX http://gitx.frim.nl/ but I
haven't tried it yet. Looks promising.
You can find a seemingly very good book on GIT at
http://progit.org/book/ - reading it is still pretty high on my TODO
list.
I'd like to encourage that you give it a try - that way I have to do
the same ;)
He he, pacing yourself through pacing others.
I have never used GIT either, but the reputation of Linus Thorvalds
alone makes it considerable.
Personally I do not have any preferences, and I believe the most
important factor is making Ceki as productive as possible. I just say
that this is very important software and it is a non-trivial task to
change, so it should not be taken lightly.
