Hello, here are my 2.3 cents. > My thoughts pro Subversion: > * The learning curve of SVN is much smaller I do not agree with that at all. It might be more convenient and the commands might be similar however the learning effort does not come for that. The learning effort comes from trying to understand decentralizes versus centralized SCM and that has nothing to do with SVN or git, it is simply a difference in management. > * Since commits are linear, merge problems are easier to understand and solve That is negligible when using a hoster such as git-hub or a code review tool like gerrit (which we should use anyway). > * Partial checkouts are easier (if at all possible with Git) not necessary with git, as you could create a partial branch. > * The guide for Fink maintainers that are used to CVS, but not to SVN, would be easier > I doubt that. It all becomes a matter of how it is explained and presented. I would be happy to do a Video howto series on git. > > I think SVN wins for this purpose, as Git's features do not compensate for SVN's (for lack of a better word) robustness in the hands of less experienced maintainers. Your thoughts? > For me git is the better choice, especially since we are a distributed open source project -d ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
