100% of the Ruby web hackers know git, but it doesn't seem to be as popular with Python devs yet. But I don't talk to as many of them either.. Anyone care to comment? Fast and wide adoption of new best practices is the reason I prefer the Ruby community myself, as the languages don't seem have too many real advantages over each other. I've used hg before, and it was also pretty good. For better or worse, git exposes the DAG model better, leading to a bit more of a transitional learning from svn than hg, but it's not that hard anyway. There's tons of great tutorials and videos, like: http://library.edgecase.com/git_immersion/index.html http://peepcode.com/products/git My main point is that if you're not branching for tool limitation reasons, perhaps it's time to re-evaluate your tools. ;-) Git(or hg) makes branching and merging so easy you'll do it all the time, and discover when it's useful in your methodology instead of having the "fear of merging" syndrome that svn inspires. This tends to lead to both more stability and innovation since it's simple to try out a new idea in a branch and merge it if it works out well. -- | Steven Pinkham, Security Consultant | | http://www.mavensecurity.com | | GPG public key ID CD31CAFB |
