> What VCS would you use if it was all up to you? Almost 100% of game devs use Perforce. Git is a non-option. BigTech all use highly custom source control systems. They have some nice properties. My stance isn’t that we should use something other than Git per se. It’s that Git is a local maxima, and it kinda sucks. And I think the industry would be healthier if people agreed Git sucks. Features I care about: * Terabyte scale sparse checkouts * Ten terabyte scale full checkout * Petabyte scale history * Lossless history. * Automatic cloud/remote backups of every commit * Trivial for low-tech people to use (Perforce achieves this) * Cross-branch file locking for non-mergeable assets Things I don’t care about: * Distributed. Defacto centralized with forking is all I need. * Rewriting history. Linux needs it, I don’t. There are of course lots of things I do like about Git. It’d be good if Git and Perforce had some competition. There’s a market opportunity for it imho.
