Hi all,
I've moved development of Sup from subversion to git. Although this is
somewhat experimental on my part (I'm still figuring out git), I think
it will help things in the long run. In the worst case it will be easier
for you to maintain your own patchsets when I'm not moving fast enough
for you. :)
To keep up with the head:
git clone git://repo.or.cz/sup.git (was: svn checkout ...)
git pull (was: svn update)

Nice move! However have you looked at darcs[1]? It's even better IMHO, it's
smarter, smaller and a lot more easy to understand.
I maintain a sup darcs repository [2] based on regularly importing the svn.

I've actually fantasized about darcs for quite a while (e.g., [1]). I'm
convinced it's better than git in most ways. But the alterior motive
here is for me to get enough experience to introduce something at work,
and darcs's conflict resolution bug pretty much negated that for me. Git
also has going for it its pace of development, operational speed, and
the existence of large, high-profile projects managed by it, which are
really what will convince the crusty neophobe engineers I work with.
The upcoming Darcs 2 [2] may very well fix everything. But in the mean
time, the existence of git-hunk-commit --darcs [3] makes daily git usage
approach tolerability, although I do hold my nose.

The conflict resolution bug seems pretty hard at a first look. The good news
is that Darcs 2 is almost there (pre-released a few days ago) and don't
suffer from this bug.
However most of the time you can avoid resolving conflicts by don't allowing
conflicts in the main repository.
This is a very practical way (that I use) as far as you don't have two public
forks of a same project (i.e. you publish conflicts and conflict resolutions).

I agree with you on this expect the fact that git is a lot more complex to
get and then is not a pace of development during the learning time.

Darcs is a lot more than just having a nice interactive user interface.

Excellent - been playing with git for a while and loving it. Moving my
patchset across now!

Nice. Procrastinating about setting up git-svn pays off!

Procrastination pays! I used git-svn to convert the history over and it
really wasn't bad at all. Everything worked perfectly.
