Change to DVCS #311

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

It would be more convenient for friends to use dvcs to pull changes from google 
code. Change from SVN to Git or Mercurial would be great!

Thanks for the advice. But most of our client users do the development on 
windows, SVN is more convenient for them. We will consider switch if we request 
enough request.

Actually, I want to use the git. It is very advanced versioning system and I 
have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

I can convert the project to the GIT with full version history (with branches 
and tags).

Almost 80% of our page visits comes from windows users if you look at the 
google analytics. I believe most of our client developers are working on 
windows. Unfortunately, I can't see a good git client (Comparing to tortoise 
SVN) on windows(yes I know we can always use command line) which might make the 
user harder to do a checkout.

There is a gui:

Merging, branching is too easy on git. People can share code with PULL/PUSH 
request without patches.

SVN and GIT can be used together. "git svn rebase" command sends changes to svn.

Please Pang, I want it. I used git before and it is really better than svn.

TortoiseGit is mature enough for daily use.

If you think Git is harder to use, than Mercurial is easier. Anyway, DVCS is 
better for an Open Source project. Users can manage changes locally to 
themselves.

Oh, there is TortoiseGit...then let's change this to gt. I agree that git is 
better, I use it everyday, the only reason for my objection is no good client 
on windows.
