Comment on Why SQLite Does Not Use Git

Comments

How should other people look at us? We always have to change these core things. From proprietary source control to CVS - that was actually a good idea because it was the open source standard. Then we all changed again to SVN for reasons I can't remember and then to GIT. And indeed it is about time to change again.

For the others who have to earn the money to support these follies, it is all the same. We could as well have sticked to CVS.

More on topic. Half of the complaints are data issues (I can not see things the way want to see them). That is easy to solve without killing GIT. And the argument that it is too complex, I see the contrary evolving where everybody is following the pattern set out by Github et al.

CVS tracked files. SVN tracks directories. That alone was a huge change in itself.
