To move discussion of Git beyond the arm waving stage, I'd like to suggest several concrete steps:
* Use the tag "[git]" to identify list postings discussing integration of Git into Boost daily life. If that gets unwieldy, we can start a separate mailing list.
* Start building documentation, with a lot of the initial effort going into rationale and "how to do it". To that end, I've started to populate a "Git" hierarchy on the Trac wiki: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/Git/GitHome. Please contribute!
The advantages look like a good start. I'd like to add:
Con: * The migration itself will cause a certain amount of disruption (transient) * Those who just don't care will have to learn a new tool (transient, subjective). * Links to svn will be broken. Trac and svn are currently heavily cross-linked. If someone has a way to avoid this problem, I'd be more than happy to withdraw it. (long-term).
If you want more criticism of Git.. You might want to read through the docs for Fossil <http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/fossil-v-git.wiki>. Ostensibly a better VCS, IMO ;-) -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail
