Whoa!
I'd like to see some more discussion of this.
So far, the only "pro" I've seen for Perforce is "it's much nicer". On
the other hand, it's:
- not open source nor even (beer) free
- not as well understood by most developers
I'd hate to see us create a barrier to entry which discourages people
from reading or contributing to the perl source.
I'd like to hear some discussion on the following points:
- what Perforce offers that CVS doesn't
- how important or beneficial these features are to Perl
- what a developer needs to do/learn/etc to move to Perforce from CVS
and how much of a barrier to entry it would be
- what are the social/PR implications of choosing Perforce and what will
their impact be?
