Git?

[jducoeur]

Out of curiosity, is anyone in the audience using Git? I've begun to hear about it fairly often (it's Linus Torvald's reportedly semi-radical overhaul of CM), and I'm curious what it's like to use in practice. While I suspect CommYou will continue to use Subversion for its core code, I don't rule out the possibility of something else for the likely eventual open-source components, and I like to stay up on the options in this area...

No personal experience, but I did recall reading this article which mentions it in contrast to Mercurial (in the context of avoiding code bombs from solo developers working privately).

No personal experience, but it seems to be named by a man who doesn't care if it takes off in England :)

Personal experience: we decided to use it for OSCAR. I'm slowly, slowly learning it, mostly because I've only worked with PVCS/Merant/Serena and very briefly with CVS before, and I never really used branching.

I like it. I'm finding the 'store and pass deltas' functionality to be extremely useful, even if I haven't fully grasped the 'rebase' bit yet, and I really, really like the way branching works. Cheap, local branches. Yum.
