Yep. I work at a rather large avionics company, which still mostly uses ClearCase. It's often an uphill battle to get projects moved into Subversion. Git?...

- KirinDave 18y agoI think I used to work there, and all I can say is, "I'm sorry." I managed to get Ruby used there on our contracts. Maybe you could get Git into the workflow? The easy sell is that Git is a better backup scheme than any other backup scheme ever devised, because of the distributed nature of projects.
- johns 18y agoI work with primarily MS shops and so many of them are still using Visual Source Safe and don't even know what SVN is, let alone Git.
- ken 18y agoIf you're at a "large avionics company" using ClearCase, you're probably not using Macs with "10.4.9 and higher". (Because IBM says "At this time there is no plan to support ClearCase on Macintosh OS X, and it has not been tested for use on X11".) It may be a good rule to support the median VCS if you're going after the median consumer, but a program for developers on recent versions of Mac OS X is not aiming at median consumers.
- tjr 18y agoTouché, few Macs here, though I was just meaning to offer a datapoint for not-everyone-moving-to-Git-yet... Slightly useless in this context, I guess. :-)
