Re: Why GIT, guys? Really...

Well, I have no problems with CVS or SVN and I can do nothing about my 
firewall.
How can I get the source? There are no tar balls any more. It just seems 
insane that I can get every other source on the planet, X's, Gnomes's, all 
of the base libraries, etc - but not Mesa.

(BTW, in keiths posts he never makes on concrete argument against using 
something sane like SVN. He mentions a lot of problems w/ CVS solved by SVN 
and later just says, its apparent that SVN isn't the answer for me ... which 
would be WHY?)
