I really thought it was an April fools joke...
- teraflop 13y agoTony Stevenson, on the Apache infrastructure team, seems to think it is: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-7524?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:changehistory-tabpanel https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-7524?page=com.at...
- petercooper 13y agoAlthough the discussion is still ongoing. Either it's real or they've really put some serious effort into this one and I will be quite impressed!
- toggle 13y agoI read their Jira thread, and I was convinced it was a joke, too. The project manager mentioned some poll that no one else had heard of, and then other people kept coming up with reasons as to why it made sense to have had a short poll for such a major issue. I just assumed they were stringing everyone else along. :P Honestly, if this isn't a joke, I think it doesn't really make SVN look bad (or dead). SVN's remaining proponents keep arguing that it works well in a corporate environment, while they agree that git is better for large, open-source projects. Well, SVN is a large, open-source project. I'm still betting it's a joke, though.
- viraptor 13y agoI don't think it's a joke really. The ticket and a couple of comments would look like one. But multiple project leaders commenting more than once and (acting as if) getting quite annoyed with each other would be a massive waste of time for the whole org on a joke that doesn't need to be this long. At this point, I think it's real...
- ternaryoperator 13y agoGiven the competition between SVN and Git, this would be a very poor choice for an April fool's joke. You don't put out false information that makes you look like you're ceding to your chief competitor, when you're in the weaker position.
- gavinpc 13y agoYeah... that would be the most pointless April fool's joke ever started.
