I've recently switched to git from svn and it is pretty good so far. Git allows having a centralized server, it just needs to be enforced at the human level, not at the software level.
Is it worth the hassle? I have no problem with SVN, centralised works just fine. I really just wanted a CVS with atomic commits. Maybe I should look into GIT.
Its been about 3 months since we switched, so far its useful, when we have new features, we create a new branch just for that feature so we can isolate the code from the rest of the base. Then when the feature is done, we merge it with the main branch. Its also awesome to be able to commit when you don't have internet access.
I assume you mean doing it "distributed" ?
cause branching and merging is something I do all the time with SVN. Although, yeah, I don't use it as much as I could for that sort of stuff.
a good collection of (probably correct) cliches, scraped from other sites, coming to a conclusion about subversion which I didn't quite follow.
What is everyones beef with SVN? its just CVS with atomic commits, and a few other nice things. It doesn't claim to be any more - if you don't like it, shut up and don't use it. I don't understand this desire for endless whining.
