Re: [udig-devel] svn down

[Jesse Eichar <jesse.eichar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can tell you from experience that GIT integrates quite well with SVN.  I use it even with SVN projects.  You can strip off the top commit and start building a history from there.  I find that way the least painful.  Compared to cloning the whole repo which can take days (that first time).  I tried bazaar's integration and it wasn't nearly as smooth for a number of reasons.  

Branching is a big reason I would like to go Distributed.  Any of the above merge MUCH better than SVN.

Hi all,

I definitely like this idea. I currently have a copy of parts of udig-1.1.1 code in my SVN (modified code), and think that using git/bzn/hg would make it much easier to support re-merging these 'unofficial forks' back into udig (ie. easier for people to make contributions back to udig). In my case it is support for RDT IDE projects within uDIG(EMF) projects.

A year ago, I was in favour of bazaar, but have been swinging over to git simply due to the popularity (so many other oss projects are going to git).

I'm sad to say I'm still on SVN, and not happy with it, and definitely plan to move within the next 6 months. So for me:
+1 git
+0.5 bzn

Cheers, Craig

I dont know if you have used one of the distributed scms but if not you should try they will make you realize just how terrible svn really is. 

+1 HG
+1 Git

Mauricio preference?

I will set up what ever wins.

I do not mind; as long as we have something to release the official
releases from. We also do have an svn repository on codehaus we can
turn on.

I could also use some help making releases; even on just the testing side.
