Version control system #7

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
The project really needs to start using a version control system.

Rationale:
* Makes collaboration possible
* Allows following the development and testing also between releases
* Easier to create patches / check what one has modified
* And all the rest benefits a VCS brings, such as bug bisecting, branching 
experimental features etc. etc.

Solution:
In my opinion Git is the best version control system, but since Google Code 
doesn't support it (their most starred issue) for some obscure reason, 
Mercurial is the way to go as it is fundamentally much better than SVN. (I'm 
assuming here the project doesn't want to move to github.com for example.) I 
see there is actually a repo created, but unfortunately it is empty. :(

Ok it's done. We have a Mercurial hg repo for Source. I've pushed my last 
version there.
Email me from your gmail, so I could add you to project commiters (you need an 
gmail email account and google code user to commit, don't post it here).
