Re: [ros-dev] GIT mirror

[Alex Ionescu]

I agree with Steven -- I don't mind a git mirror (but I would appreciate an
Hg mirror as well -- since you already have git set up, just run git->hg
conversion, it should work flawlessly. Converting svn->hg is usually not the
way to go).

My arguments were against using git as the primary DVCS -- it's just not the
right tool *FOR REACTOS*.

As the old adage says:

1) Analyze your requirements
2) Pick the best tool for your project
3) Shut up about the tool and write code instead

FYI, HgSvn is what I use:

hgsvn <http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/hgsvn> allows you to work on SVN
checkouts using Mercurial (mirroring all SVN history in a local Mercurial
repository on which you can also do local development). It is useful for
managing private branches, submitting patches to project maintainers, have
fast local operations instead of slow remote "svn up/log/blame"



Best regards,
Alex Ionescu
