Just saying "but its DVCS so someone will have a copy" doesn't fly - I know, when I saw git used at my last place, they literally didn't have any copies of some repos. Mind you, locking can be good for some situations and git fails in this regard - unless you have a magical merge tool for images or other binary files. git only really works for text files. | |

SVN may be centralized and may be a better CVS but that hardly make it a good software. Torvalds hates CVS / SVN not because they're centralized but because he considers they are pathetically bad software. Whether he's right or not is up to you to decide but seen the immense success of both Linux (and Android) --running on billions of devices-- and Git --which is pretty much taking the world by storm--, I'd think twice before disagreeing with him. The lecture Torvalds gave at Google on Git years ago is amazing. | |
