gonna do a short thread of git vs other version control systems polls just to get an overall vibe
poll 1: if you've used both hg and git, which do you prefer?
(no replies please though, i have already read 300 comments about git vs other version control systems today and i can't read more)
poll 2: if you've used both svn and git, which do you prefer?
(no replies please, i have already read 300 comments about git vs other version control systems today and they were great but i can't read more)
poll: is any of these your favourite version control system?
(please don't reply if your answer is "other”, i have some polls elsewhere in this thread about other systems)
I have not heard much about fossil. Who actually uses it and what for?
@railmeat @b0rk The SQLite folks created and use it. It's an all-in-one app with Web UI and uses, of course, a SQLite DB for repo metadata storage.
Fossil is said to work best with the "cathedral" model, while Git is better for "bazaar"-style projects.
