Hi Denis, Here are some disadvantages from my perspective:
- everyone needs to learn it and become productive enough with it - we need to change our jira setup to use git, presumably this needs to be done with cru as well - all of the docs that are svn explicit need to be changed to git explicit - all of scripting that we have written (which is not tonnes, but some) would need to be redone Most of the advantages of Git exist with SVN too. For instance, these are all true with SVN: > - better access, easier to join development for new developers > - work on their own repository > - push to shared repository when ready > - many developers work in different countries simultaneously > - security: > - immediately after the repository clone, there is basically no > information about that project that the server you cloned from has > that you do not have (including ALL changes and revisions) > - every person working on your project has what is essentially a > full backup of the project data I'm not really anti-git, it seems fine enough. I'm anti-change for changes' sake; our velocity is already low and our processes are just getting cemented (finally) with SVN. I don't want to slow development down any further. I'd be against changing while we have a release in the pipe. I see changing as just another distraction on getting the software going, unless everyone developing on the project was already familiar with git. I'd be more relaxed about this between releases, but want anyone who thinks it would slow them down to announce that clearly; if enough would lose cycles on this then the wins just aren't significant to me.
