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...

Yeah, the strong branching capability is very unusual, and it's easy to see the value in it, especially for OSS projects.

Really, the whole thing is intriguing. I don't think I've seen a genuine rethink in the CM space in *decades* -- Subversion is still fairly similar to MonoCM, the RCS-based tool we built at Intermetrics back in '87ish. So the idea of going back to first principles and building a CM system optimized for the problems of big open source projects is fascinating...
