Having been battling with various projects that have decided that 'git is good' or 'hg is best' ... I've been trying to live in the new world and failing. That link is looking like a nice CURRENT overview of the situation although things are still changing mainly for the good. My problem until recently was that 'subrepo' management in DVCS has always been playing catchup. Yesterday for the first time I checked out a 'super-project' matching one of the composite builds provided on an original CVS repo! Still not fully integrated into Eclipse, but hopefully even that will come with time. But now I can 'clone' the half dozen different builds and manage them in parallel with both github and bitbucket 'masters'. I'm using Mercurial and TortoiseHg which almost work transparently between Linux and Windows, and with hg-git access to the 'git is good' projects is also transparent even on windows. Next step this weekend IS to tidy up the SVN setup so that I have the PHP code locally mirrored as well .... -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php
