That includes way more than converting the tree you know, that includes converting all the tools we have out there to be able to use git, and there= are more than you can imagine. That include teaching it to all our developers and given how much git can b= ecome complex, good luck with that. That include defining a proper workflow so that we do not fuck up with hist= ory That include writing tons of pre-push hooks to make sure we do not shout ou= rself in the foot, which git allows you to do (on pkgng I had tons of case it was= hard to figure out how to fix, and for some we just moved away and gave up on fi= xing) We just recovered from cvs->svn switch I think noone at all is willing to d= o the job again. Git has lots of drawbacks and if badly handled with all the above, it will = be a real nightmare. and That is said from someone who likes git (except that the UI can get overcomplicated) regards, Bapt --dgjlcl3Tl+kb3YDk Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.15 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAlLkEqAACgkQ8kTtMUmk6Ew4KwCfUAUm4WKYx0TJy6tpIki5AbKs Jk0An3+x0P6iosl79LiLS/4CCJ/EYI61 =BtcN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --dgjlcl3Tl+kb3YDk--
