I'd like to definitely vote for Git.

I recently became a mingw-w64 developer and i want to attack ARMv7 support and 
Wine related things.

I prefer Git on all platforms over SVN, while i think hg is also OK.
At work i convinced most of my colleagues to use TortoiseGit when on Windows 
and they love it and see the benefits now
(and they also were convinced of TortoiseSVN before, but i guess you can't get 
them back...)
(And yes, coming from Wine, which uses Git, i might sound a bit biased)

PS: Offending mails like from Rodney are really wrong and are not constructive

I would like to register to vote. My usage of mingw-w64 comes from my
interest in MSYS2, Qt, general cross-compilers (crosstool-ng) and some
involvement with the Android NDK. I will have to update some scripts
if mingw-w64 changes from using SVN to git.

Re: [Mingw-w64-public] Register your vote (was Re: mingw-w64 may move to git in the future)

2014-05-02 Thread Riot
Hello, I'd like to register to vote.

I'm quite new to the mingw-w64 project, but have been a mingw user for many
years.  I migrated in order to stay up to date with the latest versions of
GCC and because the community is a great deal more accessable than that of
the original mingw project.

My angle is that of a game developer.  I'm interested especially in
optimisation and creating software that will run, and run well, across all
platforms and can be built with purely open-source tools - I'm the rare
breed of game developer who eschews all things microsoft, but of course I
still want my games to be accessable to windows users.

I haven't made any commits, but this is primarily because of my dislike of
the grossly outmoded SVN - However, in my first week of migration to
mingw-w64 I submitted a patch for intrin.h fixing a previously undiscovered
3dnow bug, so I'm not sure if that counts me as a developer or not ;)  I'm
a committed Git user (on windows as well as *nix), I manage 59 different
repositories on Bitbucket and a handful on Github, so no prizes for
guessing which way my vote will go.

If mingw-w64 moves to git, I will be far more willing and comfortable
fixing bugs I come across in future, and won't have to do the whole dance
of creating a diff and a gist and writing to the mailing list hoping
someone else will submit my patch for me.

Regards,
SlowRiot

I would like to register to vote.  I am working with a colleague to
see if we can adopt mingw-w64 as the standard compiler for Python
extensions on Windows:

http://www.mail-archive.com/numpy-discussion@scipy.org/msg44997.html

I have submitted one accepted patch for the expm1 function with tests:

http://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/mailman/message/32234485/

The change will affect my work because

* we may need to maintain a set of long-lived patch sets against mingw
for our distribution
* I intend to submit patches for any problems I find while testing
numerics on Windows

I'm an experienced user of svn and git:
