There's some points. First, Git and Mercurial become more and more popular, especially in the open source world. Second, they are distributed which is important aspect, especially again for the open source. I tried SqueakSVN and it also requires some work. Less than this project, of course. But I think some parts of the SqueakSVN can be reused. SVN is client-server SCM so it can't compete with Monticello which is highly distributed. Competition is good, and more choice is better. I even think that developing them in parallel can help each of them and Monticello too. And I'm generally interested in distributed solutions, while svn isn't one of them. Also, Git/Mercurial suit better to replace changes/sources again because of their distributed nature. _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project
