Eric Sink's blog - notes on git, dscms and a "whole product" approach

Eric Sink hs been working on the (commercial, proprietary) centralised SCM Vault for a while. He's written recently about his explorations around the new crop of DSCMs, and I think it's quite interesting. A quick search of the list archives makes me thing it wasn't discussed before.

The guy is knowledgeable, and writes quite witty posts -- naturally, there's plenty to disagree on, but I'd like to encourage readers not to nitpick or focus on where Eric is wrong. It is interesting to read where he thinks git and other DSCMs are missing the mark.

   Maybe he's right, maybe he's wrong, but damn he's interesting :-)

So here's the blog -  http://www.ericsink.com/

These are the best entry points

To be frank, I think he's wrong in some details (as he's admittedly only spent limited time with it) but right on the larger-picture (large userbases want it integrated and foolproof, bugtracking needs to go distributed alongside the code, git is as powerful^Wdangerous as C).

cheers,
