Thanks apathy, I checked out Git a little while back. I definitely think that I need to learn more about both Git and SVN. From what little contact I have had with companies, SVN seems to be the most widely deployed for those on *nix platforms - that likely has something to do with the ~5yr jump that SVN has (?) though... Thanks for the encouragement! -Matt

5 years? If you count from when FSFS became the standard (2005?) it's really more like 3 years. I think Subversion will probably remain the standard for your 'average' developer, and Git will make huge inroads into the more elite/distributed teams, since it's the default repo for the Linux kernel. I don't really see the point of learning how to use tools that other developers are unlikely to use -- CVS, SVN (which is almost identical to Perforce), and git have compelling projects which use them. Most others don't. If you use SVN in a group, you should also use Trac, btw. It's fucking amazing. looks at Trac Hacks Holy mother of god, someone went and wrote a plugin to make Trac play nice with Git and Perforce (AMZN and GOOG use p4). Well, that's pretty sweet -- no effort required regardless of repo. And apparently they added a continuous integration dashboard, Bitten (http://bitten.edgewall.org/wiki/Documentation/index.html http://bitten.edgewall.org/wiki/Documentation/index.html). I love those Edgewall guys. Makes me want to go back to workaday development... almost.
