Heya,

There was a poll on the GSoC students mailing list: "What is your favorite revision control system?". From the 100 responses so far, my vote topled the balance in favor of Git ;). As a statistics junkie I think it's fun to see that the only real competition among GSoC students is Subversion, which has about as much market share as Git. (Surely the 1 vote for TFS/SourceSafe must have been a misclick.) At least nobody can claim we're the underdog RCS anymore!

Git 40% (40) Subversion 39% (39) Mercurial 7% (7) CVS 6% (6) Bazaar 5% (5) Perforce 1% (1) Monotone 1% (1) Microsoft TFS/SourceSafe 1% (1) Other 0% (0) BitKeeper 0% (0)
