Re: Moving the repository to git

[Shigio YAMAGUCHI]

Hi all,

I would like to postpone adoption of new VCS (Subversion, mercurial and git)

because of two demerit.

1. These VCS don't maintain time stamp of source files.

2. To use DVCS (mercurial and git), we always have to operate two repositories

   (local and remote).

Though CVS has many problems, I don't think they are fatal. CVS is still a useful

VCS for GLOBAL. Further, it's very simple. About DVCS, I thik that we can use

it for personal work, and we need not change the central repository to it.

Any comment?

I'm investigating about this.

The most important point is to reduce obstacles of the shift.

Subversion has consideration to CVS user, and Mercurial has consideration

to Subversion user. As the result, I'm thinking Mercurial is best up to now.

Hi all,

I wanted to ask if there is a plan to move from CVS to a more modern version control system like git? Quite recently emacs has moved to it and although it was quite painful it succeeded in the end.

I'm asking because a couple of weeks ago I started using global and I wanted to add native support for TTCN to global instead of using it through ctags which means I can't look for function and symbol references.

I looked on the website then and when I saw that the project is still using CVS I thought that it's probably dead and I should look elsewhere. But fortunately glancing at the mailing list it seems it is still alive. Still, the feeling of a project being dormant prevails so maybe the move to git would give it a nice stir.

What do you think?

Cheers,

Radek
