Wouldn't it be more useful to find out which clients people are actually using? In case most people use a svn client and are completely happy with it we should ask the question if there's that much of a benefit to change. Also, if we decide to switch to any DVCS it's interesting to see which DVCS people are actually using -- the more people already using the selected VCS the less people have to learn new things (and can instead hack on Rockbox), and the more people are around to answer questions from others. From the discussions on the Web other projects have gone through I don't think there's much of a difference between the major DVCS git, hg and bzr. For myself, I'm using git-svn most of the time and I'm quite happy with it. While I'm not against changing to any other VCS I don't see much reason either -- using svn as backend doesn't cause much of a problem, and I can use svn when I don't have git around (f.e. on Windows machines) - Dominik Received on 2011-05-31 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
