The three differentiators with hg are marginal and can in any case be equalized with bookmarks (cheap local branching, which is probably least applicable to us), cadmium (staging area), and BitBucket (GitHub). Again, I think there are enough strengths to both to argue for enabling both (even if there's a cost to that), and I think the strongest thing git has going for it isn't on the list: all the cool kids already know it. I just want to say straightaway that I apologise. My intention is not to start a flamewar or bike shedding but to merely show that there are benefits to offering git as an alternative to mercurial. I'm sure if the URL was 'whygitisagoodalternativetox.com' I wouldn't need to have to clarify this ;) Andrew _______________________________________________ oi-dev mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev
