Hello list,
I have been monitoring this thread and thought to share this absolutely
great summary by David that I found recently posted on the Jenkins
mailing list that suits apt for this conversation. I agree with all his
points.

hi Godmar,
what i meant is that with Git when you clone you get the entire
history, all branches, everything.
so if 50 developers do a git clone, then you have 50 full backups.
if the hard disc with the "central" repo dies, then you can easily
recreate it from any of the 50 clones.
but i agree

Could you explain this point?
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 machi

I wasn't trying to sound like I was taking the statement personally. Had it

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.

finally when finished push to the server.

- you get backup "for free"
- don't need the network for most operations (you can do work while on
transatlantic flight)
- most important for us: possibility to commit locally, checkpointing,
possibility to checkpoint broken code, code review
- with git i am simply more productive

Hi All,
At one client site we are using SVN. Client is a big corporate with
projects teams spread across 3 buildings on the same site. Project teams
are often sitting next to each other.
I am trying to convince collegues that we should move to GIT. I have sent
them all the usual "GIT vs SVN
