I'm not a Git, or DVCS fanatic. I'll just use whatever tool required to get the job done. I'm OK with SVN. It works. If you read my previous comments on this topic (from last year when this was heavily discussed), you'll see that I question the Git move. To me, and I mentioned this before: "A Good Craftsman Never Blames His Tools". I know a very good luthier who craft world-class guitars using only a pocket knife. And I take that to heart with crafting code as well. I find it funny when people blame SVN, the C++ compiler, etc, etc, for inadequacies in order to flaunt these new shiny tools (Git, Java in the 90s or name-your-new- compiler-here).
A good craftsman doesn't blame his tools, he blames himself for picking the wrong tool. ;) You say SVN works. For you. Or not. Others say it doesn't work as good as they'd like. For them. Numerous reasons have been given in this and other threads.
LOL :-) Did you even read the rest of my post? Regards, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boostpro.com http://boost-spirit.com
