Git is great (I love it) but Google anyway uses a fairly modded form of Perforce and the data model etc. is much simpler. Especially with use of IDEs it makes it so that you don't have to keep thinking about your VCS, unlike git, where GUIs come in the way.
- jayd16 7y agoAh sorry. I don't want to speak to what Google has made. I've never used it. Compared to the public version of Perforce, git has a much simpler model. Streams, view specs, branch mappings, p4admin tooling, a myriad of Perforce plugins of varying quality you're expected to use, and an official gui that is embarrassingly bad make Perforce much more complex in my mind. (Although it's doing more things so it's not without reason...) The one thing p4 does have is file level versioning. It's trivial to go back and pick single versions of files. Artists need that feature and most git clients hide it away or don't support it at all.
