This reads like a chapter out of my own biography. This experience started on a self-hosted SVN + Hudson server (not VM). That server was repurposed to run ESX that the hosted the VM of its former self. Which felt a bit pointless. Then we moved to git from svn but kept everything else the same. Had groovy scripts coming out of our build and deployment ears. shudder
