I have been using git-svn since the first day I commit to the freenet repository and love it. Branching and merging is extremely easy. The last time I hear a complain is about IDE-support from nextgen... There are plugins for both netbeans and eclipse, neither of them is complete. http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/NetBeansPlugin http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/EclipsePlugin > > David > > _______________________________________________ > Tech mailing list > Tech at freenetproject.org > http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech >
