This is amazing, congrats. I worked on Windows briefly in 2005 (the same year git was released!) and was surprised at how well Source Depot worked, especially given the sheer size of the codebase and the other SCM tools at the time.
Is there anything people particularly miss about Source Depot? Something SD was good at, but git is not?
- vtbassmatt 9y agoI just got a request today for an API equivalent to `sd files`, which is not something Git is natively great at without a local copy of the repo.
- taylorlafrinere 9y agoAnother interesting complaint is one that we hear from a lot of people who move from CVCS to DVCS: there are too many steps to perform each action. For example, "why do I have to do so many steps to update my topic branch". While we find that people get better with these things over time, I do think it would be interesting to build a suite of wrapper commands that roll a bunch of these actions up.
