Re: [dna-dev] Version control poll

Git-SVN provides this functionality locally. But that's a still nowhere near what using Git all 'round will give you. Right now, if I needed a fix that you have locally, I would need to get a patch (even if we were both using Git-SVN locally). If we were using Git all 'round, we'd still push commits on our branches to a shared Git (and merge them onto the 'trunk' branch (we'd probably use a branch name that corresponded to the release effort), but I could very easily pull in some or all of your changes in my branch. Easy-peasy.

I don't want to switch to Git because it's cool or fun or state of the art. I want to switch because Git-SVN already makes my life an order of magnitude easier (lots of branch switching), and would be another order of magnitude if we went whole-hog Git. Yes, all the committer's processes would change, because we'd be moving to doing all work on branches, and the main release branch becomes nothing but a merge point.
