And there lies the trap.
If you end up making something that works with everything, you will
create something that just works with everything instead of something
that works very well with one thing. Right now Git is by very far the
undisputed king of version control and has completely dethroned SVN.
If wisdom of the crowds were the wise path to follow, nobody would be
using Pharo/Smalltalk. The kingdom of git is because of popularity, not
from any particular technical superiority. Despite of its popularity, I
have been able to keep myself away from git/GitHub, using them only for
cloning and bug reporting, but for everything else I use fossil, a tool
that tries to be out of my way and doesn't mess a lot with my workflow
(a big difference with git) and keep metadata (bug reporting, wikis,
conversations) with me instead of using it for making me depend on
Central Server Inc. (a big difference with GitHub).
I agree with Christophe and Steph on this and is nice to have people
making this researching. A very welcomed work.
Cheers,
Offray
