GIT is yet another version control system. However, git belongs to the |
| 5 |
ones that are designed for distributed collabrative work, or something. |
| 6 |
It allows local commits on local branches, while being able to "pull" in |
| 7 |
the changes on the once "imported" branches and "roll-forward" those |
| 8 |
changes to your local branches. It is also possible to push your |
| 9 |
changes to the external repositories, which I want to use for updating |
| 10 |
the SVN tree. In a git local branch I can easily diff with the CVS |
| 11 |
mainline tree (without it changing under my feet) and merge over the |
| 12 |
changes to the SVN tree, via the local GIT branch. At least, that's the |
| 13 |
idea :) |
