That's what I was thinking for SF with you, me and Carsten for > OpenSG2 and Johannes, Patrick and somebody else from Darmstadt for 1. As far as I see the situation in Darmstadt, we have no ongoing plans for switching to OpenSG 2.x in the near future...but someday we will switch. So far for us, a stable OpenSG 1.x source solution is currently important. We don't have any experience with git so far but it would be a good point to start with dcvs's, since there are tools like smartgit or tortoisegit for windows. > > Just replacing svn by git and go on like before does not seem to be the > > best approach to me. > > IMHO we need to put in a little more thinking about how we want to > > have the workflow before switching to git. > > Ok, let's talk about it. I goggled around and found out, that there are many possibility's with git like mirroring of svn etc. (http://blog.tfnico.com/2010/11/git-svn-mirror-for-multiple-branches.html) There is also Mercurial (HG) with Bitbucket and ongoing comparisations like "Git is Wesley Snipes, Mercurial is Denzel Washington and SVN is Morgan Freeman" It sounds more like a religious war between HG & GIT...but it seems to be, that git offers more features?! > I would like to use git as it makes submitting patches very easy and through > github almost automated.
