I work in a place where we used CVS. Recently due to various issues (commits
per file, pserver too slow, branching) we switched to Git. Now after some
months with Git there are some people, me as well but to lesser extent (I had
an early start), who are having issues due to branches they want to have how to
share work with each other. Staging, commits, gerrit, hudson etc. etc..
There is not one best tool that works for everyone forever thereafter ... :)
and usually the one you know is the one you feel most productive ('cause you
really are), but from personal experience as one of the early Git adopters I
have to tell you running Git locally on the CVS checkout was great I saw all
changes (directories multiple file etc.) someone put in when doing cvs update >
git status and for everyone else using only CVS it was easy to share cvs update
> commit ;). In fact since I am new to OpenBSD and want to learn stuff that's
exactly what I am doing with their CVS out local git in.
After years in dev/support/etc. I have to tell you complex tools rarely solve
complex problems... Unless you are the one creating them. You only need simple
building blocks with a small feature set so you can explain it and remember it.
That's actually what I very much like in OpenBSD I installed in 5 minutes and
after that I did ps/top only 11 processes ... Wow. Try that with something else
and you will see the entry barrier to understanding the system is higher.
Sorry I diverted :) the main point is if you want to see changes as groups use
git.
