Keith - Your choice should be driven by the needs of your projects. A centrally managed or "controlled" project is aligned with the structure of Subversion - so SVN will help reinforce this aspect of the project. A highly distributed project with many independent contributors fits with the structure of Git - so Git will leverage this kind of organization better. both are good tools and while Austin is having *fun*, he should get a *clue* about SVN - maybe from the free book at http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.branchmerge.html In addition to the other Git resources mentioned, IBM has a good set of articles at it's developerworks site - http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/search/searchResults.jsp?searchType=1&searchSite=dW&searchScope=dW&query=Git&Search=Search Austin sorry for the rip - didn't mean anything by it. I am looking forward to your presentation - which meeting are you likely to do the presentation? *really* Ed --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
