My work on the Git mailing lists has strictly been: - IFF Gentoo WANTED to switched to Git, how would Git have to change. This was my posting to the Git mailing list: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/44298/focus=44473 Summarizing from that list: #1 History slicing - In Git already, some minor bugs I identified #2 Subtree slicing - External patchset to Git, WIP #3 ACL support - Patch was posted to the Git ML yesterday, needs some Gentoo-specific polishing. #4 Keywords - see the massive threads on the Git ML that were spawned These also intersect with my own needs for Git for work projects, so I can justify some of my work time for doing some Git development. That said, from a VCS management point of view, and understanding the results of Antarus's GSoC2006 work [1], SVN wasn't really suitable on the server or client side (massive disk hog compared to CVS amongst other things). The best option on the management side of things, is still to stick with CVS at the moment. [1] http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/infrastructure/cvs-migration.xml but beware that the results themselves are from August 2006, and have changed radically for Git - SVN may have changed radically as well, I don't follow SVN enough to know. -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux Developer & Council Member E-Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85
