finally I managed to convince a critical mass of developers (our chief dev :-) in our company so that we are starting to migrate to GIT. The final question is, whether GIT will life peacefully on our cluster fileservers. The GIT repository dir (/var/cache/git) should be mounted via NFS via PAN on top of DRBD (so I was told). Are there any known problems with this setup? We're asking, because there are problems with SVN on such a setup[1].
We had occasionally run into locking problems with 1.5.4.x with renames between different directories. This should be fixed in 1.6.0.3, but we have since migrated to a server model so I don't have any way of testing this. None of these problems ever caused repository corruption, only errors during fetch/clone that were resolved by repeating the operation. Using ssh: or git: does seem to be a bit faster than NFS. The configuration we did find completely unworkable was using git with the work tree on NFS.
