Hi! Michael wrote a message about some general DVCS (mis)features. I prefer to be more concrete.
I propose to list some concrete usecases and ask users of git/mtn whether their dvcs has these features. As git is the only DVCS I used, I will list some features that are important for me. Michael, could you please answer is there any easy way to do it with monotone? If one needs just 1-2 lines to do it, could you please provide these commands? I'm nearly sure that monotone can most/all of this things but I prefer to be sure ;) Anybody, let us know your favorite features/usecases, please. 1. Possibility to work on many branches using one checkout. 2. git diff features a. --ignore-all-space/--ignore-space-at-eol/--ignore-space-change I find the first command very usefull. Haven't really used the second and third form. b. --stat/--numstat - diffstat instead of patch c. --color-words <-- like wdiff d. compare filtered content instead of original files (usefull for binary files; I'm not sure that we need this feature) 3. git submodules (similar to svn externals). Again, I don't know whether Nix needs this. 4. When did this line came to this file/this repo (no matter which branch)? May be I'll add more usecases later. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
