| Today we finally switched to Subversion as our revision control system at work. After using CVS for about ten years, the list of things we didn’t like about it became long enough to justify switching to something different.
At first it wasn’t quite clear what that “something different” would be; many KDE people (mainly from the Linux camp) suggested to use Git but that’s a no-go for us (we need our revision control system to work on Windows as well), leaving aside that some people here would probably rather walk over broken glass than adjusting their work style.
Since we’ve been using Subversion for quite some time at KDE, and we know that it feels very much like CVS (minus the annoying things), it came as a natural choice. First attempts to convert our internal repository went very well, and now - with the switch being final - many scripts which were developed as little side projects to KDE, such as ’svnlastchange’, become useful to us |
