The ability to do incremental check-ins without requiring a network connection is a huge win for me.
This point is really key for me too. I am using git for all my work and svn only for boost. I am currently working on an extension of the type traits libraries and it is a real pain to not being able to do: - partial commits (= do not commit every thing) - local commits (= commit things but do not bother others, i.e. no need to wait for a perfect solution before commiting)
In my experience, branching is cheaper and much lighter-weight in Git than in SVN.
That is very interesting also: branching is very very easy. For me cvs is 1, svn is 2 and git is 1000. I would love if boost switch to git. Frédéric
