How does git stack up? Hi Jon, you've been playing with GIT quite a bit by now, so I guess you know the answer ;-) Is there anything in particular you are wondering about? The one item that sticks out for me as not there is ACLs, but access controls can be implemented in hooks for direct pushes. Maintain an .htaccess-like file and have a perl script to check it on pushes to the repo. Oh, and "partial tree pulls for localisers". Perhaps git-cvsserver can help there? Localisers can just use TortoiseCVS and get a checkout of the language pack subdir. cheers, martin -- VGER BF report: U 0.544429
