Comments on: Revision Control Revision http://blog.ub3rgeek.net/2009/06/01/revision-control-revision/ Words and ideas from a mildly misanthropic technologist. Fri, 13 Aug 2010 01:07:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Nugget http://blog.ub3rgeek.net/2009/06/01/revision-control-revision/comment-page-1/#comment-8188 Nugget Tue, 02 Jun 2009 15:18:12 +0000 http://ub3rgeek.net/wp/?p=357#comment-8188 I just moved us from 90/10 CVS/Subversion to a git-based model and couldn't be happier. My experience is that Subversion is a "sort of better CVS" but still suffers from many of the same fundamental flaws as CVS and doesn't really provide enough of an improvement to justify the migration from CVS. Git was really compelling -- the move has already had a profound improving impact on our development workflow and I think the discomfort of the migration has been worth it. If you ever feel so motivated, I'd encourage you to give it another look. It's a powerful tool and there's more too it than just 'rails'-style meringue enthusiasm.
