These fell by the way side as they never had consensus of being better than SCCS. Now git has the weight of the Linux kernel behind it which pretty much EOL'd all other source control mechanisms.
- rhabarba 7y agoThat's like saying Windows has pretty much EOL'd every non-Windows desktop. Citation needed.
- vnorilo 7y agoThere was a certain hub that had a role in git's rise. Kernel pedigree may lend it credibility but I doubt it's the driving factor.
- theamk 7y agoI don’t think Linux kernel matters that much - only a tiny fraction of the total number of developers use it. From what I saw, it was git vs hg - which had different philosophies. Hg gave you nice, polished workflow for supported tasks. Git gave you building parts that you can make your own system from. It turned out that enough programmers wanted to build from parts.
