It is just another thing I have to learn and why should I when I don't know what benefit I get. It is very common mistake to try to convince regular developers to move to git. Such tactic will not succeed usually. Git does not have any benefits for the developer who just do svn co, svn up. Git's benefits are in the Team Lead and Release Engineer scopes. You just need to convince key persons to move to git.

Re: [git-users] SVN vs GIT
Your reply may have been a joke or it may not have been. Either way I feel your post added nothing of value to the thread and is therefore a waste of bandwidth. The link you posted may be of value, however I was offended by your comments. I use both git and svn and I am neither ugly or stupid.

Re: [git-users] SVN vs GIT
I wasn't trying to sound like I was taking the statement personally.

I don't deserve any credits on this statement. In the google tech talk that was linked in the message I replied to, Linus makes this statement with a twinkle. Therefore, I started my reply with That talk... to make the context clear. Sorry, if that wasn't clear enough. I use both git and svn and I am neither ugly or stupid. So do I, and clearly the used VCS has no immediate effect on beauty or wisdom. I think we can agree on that.

I would have made that argument for SVN/CVS, really any centralized system. In git, you're dealing with (possibly numerous) repositories on different machines. Unless all the machines on which they're located are backed up, you don't have backup (unless you push/pull every commit to an upstream repository on a backed-up machine, such as github). Using SVN, where the SVN repository is (typically) housed on a server that is backed up, every commit is an automatic backup. In git, it's not, unless you do a commit+push every time you'd do a commit in SVN. - Godmar -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Git for human beings group.
