The status quo is a harsh mistress. 'There is no compelling reason to |
| 12 |
switch systems'. If we were starting anew? SVN in a heartbeat. |

But we have 6 years of cvs experience, and it works...fairly well as you |
| 15 |
know. The primary reasons for svn are better local support for stuff |
| 16 |
(read diffs), atomic commits, and file moves. Branching..I don't think |
| 17 |
is really useful for gentoo-x86 as it doesn't fit the style of how we do |
| 18 |
things. |

GIT is a good alternative, but has massive changes of it's own, |
| 21 |
particularly I think in workflow. Workflow is important, and it's |
| 22 |
beneficial to make the workflow changes at the same time as the backend |
| 23 |
is changed. |
