GIT again

	Hi, Paolo, people,

Once Paolo has mentioned GIT as a replacement for GNU arch
(aka tla). I  
personally use git and very much satisfied with it. In
opposite, arch  
doesn't look beautiful by design and low in performance.
(That in the  
1st sight). Hence 2 questions:

1. What SCM do you (Paolo) use personally: Arch or GIT? If
GIT, can I  
clone your repo?

2. What do you - people - think about moving to GIT?
That, of course after release 3.0, as I understand that it's
not the  
best time for such a change and other infrastructure
changes..

Thanks and best regards, Ildar.

I'm not that much dissatisfied with arch's design, except
for the 
revision library (which should not have been browsable in
the file 
system -- it should have been something like a git pack,
except global 
for all archives).  If you forget for a moment the speed
problems, git 
is a little more suited to a centralized model and arch's
cherry picking 
is a little more powerful (it does not require me to clone
the other 
person's repository).  But the bad speed is indeed a
problem, and when I 
recently changed my hard disk it took me two hours to
rebuild the last 
revision of gst!  Three or four revisions did not apply with
"tla get", 
but went fine if I first made a cacherev of the immediately
previous 
ones.  That's also why I make a occasionally updated CVS
repository: for 
casual users it's much simpler to "cvs up" than to
"tla update" or "tla 
replay".

So, I don't think that arch's design is necessarily bad,
only its 
implementation.

Arch for GNU projects.  git for everything else.

I was planning a poll soon, and the move after 3.0 is
released.

Thanks for bringing up the issue!

Paolo
