Their model make a lot of sense and I definitely think we will see Git taking over (as SVN did over CVS).However, one thing that worries me is the lack of tools for Git. Sure, it has command-line tools. Perhaps that should be enough, but in reality, I don't think it's that simple. Me for an example rely upon TortoiseSVN for my everyday SVN use. It simplifies a lot of things, including diff/merging. Requiring patches to be diffed against Git repos or requiring committers to use Git could scare potentially helpful people away. Always keeping an established way of submitting work is key. A tremendous amount of developers are already very familiar with SVN (and it's model). But that brings me to another question, in what ways can a Git repo co-exist with a SVN repo (synchronously) ? Also, something is telling me others are having similar integration problems with Git and SVN. Are there other projects that are doing or has done the same thing? Carl
