Heh. I'm old enough to remember when CVS was king. Subversion was a huge improvement. Git was too. I have every reason to believe further huge improvements are possible. They might have to be gargantuan though to overcome inertia by now.
- Ygg2 3y agoJust look at what sucks in Git. Large file handling and submodule/subtree.
- funcDropShadow 3y agosubmodule and subtree are difficult concepts that look easy at a first glance. That is not the fault of the implementation.
- Ygg2 3y agoFor record that's something SVN had. It's difficult in distributed setting.
- NikkiA 3y agoAnd CVS was a huge step up from RCS and SCCS synced via sneakernet, well, it seemed huge at the time, now it seems like a tiny step compared to everything that came after.
