Rahul Sundaram <sundaram@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> : [...] > already using Mercurial. Also see > http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/VersionControl FWIW: Mercurial Pros: * It appears possible to have representations of one thing be a copy of another directory or repository on the same mercurial server that maintains history and everything. This could be useful. -> From the description, .git/objects/info/alternates could be advertised as a similar feature for git. * Mercurial developers are willing to add missing functionality if that makes sense. -> A 'grep -i fedora' on my archives of the git mailing list suggests that this kind of question has not been raised here. As usual, the mailing-list is very valuable. -> The disk requirements of git deserves more explanations than a terse "Higher disk space requirements" in the Cons section. Is it a matter of running 'git repack' from time to time or something else, _lots_ of branches/refs ? -> http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/tools/scm/git-eval.txt is outdated. It speaks of git version 1.2.4 which dates back to 03/2006 while the 1.4.x branch is used since 06/2006. -- Ueimor -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
