Subject: Re: [webkit-dev] Git Familiarity (was ChangeLog)
I think at some point we need to consider a change in version control
system. I would like us to work on the bug tracker and patch review
system first, to avoid making too many tools changes at once, and because
that issue seems to be more urgent and disruptive of workflow. I'm
whipping up an email on what I think are the right short-term and
medium-term steps. Once we have that well in hand, then revision control
and build system would probably be the next things to review for change.
The one thing bad about git is for people who don't use a *nix: Subversion
works quite
well on Windows, including powerful GUI tools. Git just isn't the same. (For
one,
it won't work without Cygwin. I can currently build WebKit/Qt without having
Cygwin
anywhere near my computer). I'm not familiar with other DVCS, but until one
has good
Windows support, that would rule out a portion of developers.
