I laughed at this... GIT has a number of negatives, but poor speed is not one of them especially if you're used to working with SVN and a remote server. Maybe this is just a windows issue? GIT leaves a lot of work to the filesystem. My primary complaint with GIT is that if you're doing non-trivial tree manipulation it's not at all difficult to convert your tree into Swiss Cheese and it can be fairly difficult to fix it other than by pulling a copy from an unscrewedup replica and cherry pick your later changes back into it. OTOH, the sorts of tree uber-bonsai likely to result in a shredded tree are pretty much not possible in SVN. YMMV. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
