FWIW, Mark Jaquith is a lead developer for WordPress.
I hope this is an indication they're considering a switch to Git for the future. It makes a lot of sense to me consider the distributed nature of Automattic's workforce and the large number of contributors to the codebase.
- timdorr 15y agoDrupal made the switch to git (from CVS) not too long ago and it's worked wonders for them. It's still a challenge, but they should have an easier time coming from svn, if they were to make the switch. The tools for conversion are quite mature.
- rmc 15y ago(from CVS) Jesus. I thought SVN had beaten CVS years ago...
- markjaquith 15y agoWordPress has a lot invested in SVN, so it wouldn't be a trivial switch. I imagine we'll switch eventually, but there are no concrete plans at this time. I actually use Git and git-svn to do all my WordPress core development: http://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2011/05/26/developing-on-wordpress-using-git/ http://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2011/05/26/developing-on-wo...
