Re: [cdt-dev] git
I think git would be a good way to go in the future at a time when it is good enough. But the current state of the plugin is alpha level and not suited for project migration yet; though it is gaining steam.
One issue with git is that most patches are processed by mail, which has it's own share of problems. But the (native) tools are set up to consume patches from INBOX and fire them to an SMTP server.
Because Git preserves history on your local side, it folds each (local) commit into it's own patch. I've ended up with 8 patches for a simple file because I was committing as I was going. I don't think this scales with bugzilla attachments yet. It may even be something mylyn can help with.
Still, it can only get better and the more people that play with it and report bugs etc the better.

CVS has served us well too. The CVS plug-in still has the best merge
experience relative to the SVN plug-ins. But anyway, indepenedent of
that...
I'm starting to get into git with qemu (which is in the middle of moving 
from svn to git), the linux kernel, clutter, etc. As such I'm going to
start using the egit plug-in with CDT to get a sense of how close (or
far) away it is from being usable. That would be a key criterea before
making the move.

And since so many git user projects are C/C++, we need to get involved
to grow the CDT into that community. Has anyone else tried it?

What is wrong with bugzilla?

am all for it.

BTW, I'm closely tracking the git situation. It is my sense that git
will help us immensely, even dealing with API changes after the
release as Elena mentions (i.e., do it in your git repo and contribute 


it to the master later).

So, Chris, I will get you started ;). I'd like to know the CDT
community's opinion on this. One thing that Mike challenged us at the
council meetings at EclipseCon was for a high profile project to step
up and say they would like to move to git before the Foundation would
seriously invest in it. Personally, I'd like the CDT to be one of the
first. What do you think?

Doug.

You are using an antiquated version-control tool, you know that,

right?

The rest of the (open source) world abandoned CVS a long time ago.
