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)
@b0rk CVS probably would be if I lived in a world that didn't need the things it isn't good at, but...
(Having used CVS extensively, I really don't understand the hate it gets; it's effective at the things it tries to do and probably close to the best possible realization of its core design. It's just that "things it tries to do" doesn't cover all the problems I want a tool in that space to solve.)
I know just barely enough about perforce to suspect that I'd have similar feelings about it if I had ever used it enough to know it well.
