"Yes, you could use git, but rsync already does the job > better, so why not take advantage of it?" Back at ya. We do web development, and use various deployment tools, usually git, git+rsync or git + debian packages. I find the discussion of git-archive as a deployment tool a bit worrying - remember that untarring a newer version of the tarball on top of the old version does not remove old files. In web applications (and I think the OP is talking about web development) often security bugs come from sloppy inclusion of files (such as sample AdoDB code). If you deploy your "security fix" by unpacking a tarball, chances are you'll wake up to a p0wned server. cheers, martin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
