Why ? We are not python, where many core developers work on windows. The git command line works well on windows (same as on other systems), I used it while testing things for numpy 1.3.0 (locally, though because of the git-svn issue). There will always be arguments for svn being more supported, but doesn't this sounds like matlab vs numpy/scipy ? There will always be people who will find the scipy stack not good, not integrated - but still, we use numpy/scipy. git is not better than svn in every way, but at least to me, the question is more "is git better than svn overall", and whether a majority of contributors would agree on the answer being the affirmative. cheers, David _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
