- jordigh 12y agoIt does not solve the large file problem. It only changes the problem parameters so that a solution exists, by breaking the "D" in "DVCS". Its interface is kind of ugly, though. I don't know if gitlab gave it a better interface. The corresponding extension in Mercurial is largefiles, in case you still think there is room in the world for a DVCS other than git.
- FeloniousHam 12y agoI'm pretty agnostic regarding scm, so long as I have lightweight branching and lots of tooling built with love. I only use the basic functionality in git (eg. no submodules, central master repo), so I wouldn't notice the difference between Mercurial, Bazaar, etc and git. Git may not be the best, but (probably because of Github) it is the winner in this generation.
