I prefer to use git because I can prepare a set of small patches, then look them all over and make sure they are right, then push them all. I have no problem with the central repo being svn. The only reason I can see to change from svn on trac-hacks is that it would make permission management issues go away. If users could fork trac-hacks it would make it much easier for me to accept patches. It would also allow newer, more maintained repos to "automatically" replace stale and dead ones, based on user demand. Basically, it would eliminate the need for an admin to manage permissions. That said, for now I think just upgrading trac-hacks to 0.12 with the same functionality would be a huge step forward. There are other issues that are much higher priority then DSCM, IMHO. Not having "next ticket" link in ticket view is horrible and makes managing my ticket queue a nightmare! :D _______________________________________________ th-users mailing list th-users@lists.trac-hacks.org https://lists.trac-hacks.org/mailman/listinfo/th-users
