Reading comparisons is one thing and using is the other. But the thing |
| 9 |
is, gentoo ends up with central repository, anyway. Provided the |
| 10 |
repository is less ancient than CVS (which is basically subversion), |
| 11 |
distributed users can branch it without having to have commit access. |
| 12 |
This hybrid model makes much more sense to me than forcing everyone to |
| 13 |
use DSCM. I have exercised the approach on overlay before I was granted |
| 14 |
commit access and now continue to work the same way pushing my branches |
| 15 |
back to svn. I think this possibility totally invalidates the very idea |
| 16 |
of DSCM importance. |
