Hmm. I hesitate to add to this thread because this could turn into a svn vs. git vs hg vs. who knows what debate. However, I do know that there are some limitations with just using svn. 1. The current implementation I'm using doesn't allow svn over http which causes some headaches with some folks. 2. Branching and merging are a bit challenging with svn. 3. I'm somewhat interested in offloading the trac/svn hosting to somewhere else. 4. Local development with the other tools is a bit more robust
Bruce recently recommended assembla to me and I am using it now for some private projects and I do like it & might consider moving Satchmo to it. It will allow us to use svn or mercurial or git too so if we make the change, now might be the time to bite the bullet. To be totally honest, I've never used git or mercurial so I only know what I read on the interwebs. Apparently each is the best and the other sucks so it's a little hard to tell what to do ;) I may regret saying this but I am open to hearing what your recommendation would be. I think the 3 options are: 1. Stick with svn - it's worked so far. 2. Go to git - github rocks & Linus developed it so that must be the best choice! 3. Go with mercurial - it's in python so it's got to be good ;) Seriously though, I'm interested in well-reasoned thoughts as it applies to Satchmo not necessarily other projects that have different needs/wants. Also, whatever we do needs to support the ticketing process and allowing us to reference ticket numbers in checkins and vice versa. Let the fun begin! -Chris On Wed, Mar 11, 2009 at 3:42 PM, Bob Waycott <[email protected]> wrote: > Kevin, > > Satchmo's only in SVN afaik. > A git repo would be awesome, though. > > Chris, Bruce -- would it be a real pain to move to git?
