Probably because SVN was designed to _fix_ CVS it has gone out of |
| 15 |
fashion. Like dvcs zealots would say it has gone out of fashion |
| 16 |
because it fixed something that can't be fixed but has to be redone. |
| 17 |
Like hg, bzr, darcs and git have done. |

I agree that git might go out of fashion. Or I might start prevering |
| 20 |
darcs once I actually start experimenting with it. However first |
| 21 |
limiting to one particular vc is just a pragmatic choice. It does not |
| 22 |
mean that confsink should not contain any hooks to plugin another vc. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
It's just that I want to get the git backend to work first and THEN |
| 25 |
implement support for different backends. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
It has been suggested that this project might be so small for soc, but |
| 28 |
this desire to have multiple backends suggests that their are plenty |
| 29 |
of things to do :-) |
