Searching for a Better Version Control System
By admin on Jul 26, 2008 in open source
Git is another version control system that I am experimenting now since it has been mentioned by many others.
As quoted from the website, Git is an open source version control system designed to handle very large projects with speed and efficiency, but just as well suited for small personal repositories; it is especially popular in the open source community, serving as a development platform for projects like the Linux Kernel, Ruby on Rails, WINE or X.org.
Git falls in the category of distributed source code management tools, similar to e.g. Mercurial or Bazaar. Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with complete history and full revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a central server. Still, Git stays extremely fast and space efficient.
There is an interesting Version System Comparison available at http://better-scm.berlios.de/comparison/comparison.html to compare various SCM tools, e.g. CVS, Subversion, Git, Bazaar, ClearCase, Codeville among the rest.
Also, another Git and Subversion comparison available at http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitSvnComparsion
