I really like it.
I used Perforce years ago. Unless it's gotten much better, the only feature it has that I ever found useful is that its history tracks the integration of individual changesets, rather than just branch heads (useful if you want to merge only the later part of a branch; if you decide later to merge the rest, p4 knows which changesets were skipped the first time). Otherwise, I prefer git in every way. (Having to "open" files before they can be edited, for instance, is especially annoying and IMO unnecessarily inefficient.) > But use git.

Here's how to set up a git repository for personal use: $ git init . *That's it*. I'm not going to try to explain how to set up a svn or p4 instance for personal use. Suffice to say, it's nowhere near as easy as git. This "only" gets you a local repository, but it's similarly trivial to add a remote repository later. (Unlike centralized VCS's, git repositories are "peers"; associations can be created or dropped at any time, and the idea of a "primary" repository is a purely sociopolitical convention.) -- Matthew _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
