I'd rather not rehash the months of discussion from the GCC list about this :-) >From my point of view: - It's similar enough to CVS to not be terribly disruptive. - It's generally more robust than CVS. - Atomic changesets are a nice thing to have nowadays. - Branches are cheaper, and merges are easier. - Tags don't lock the repository for half an hour. - Oh, and staying consistent for those of us who work on both GCC and GDB. I've used it, I like it, I think it's a mild improvement rather than a revolution. I'm not violent about it. Someone needs to think about how the src repository would work, though. Checking out just part of a subversion repository is harder than it was in CVS. -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery, LLC
