Originally for programming, but it is very useful for context too. I used to use SVN too, but now prefer git because: - it is very fast (instant for most things). - Project repositories seem to stay small, disk space is used very efficiently. - easy per-project "repositories", each project is it's own independent "repository". All the history is under a single, hidden ".git" folder at the root of the project. No central server to maintain. - I found the continuously incrementing svn repository "version number" confusing with respect to multiple projects. And I seem to recall problems with svn when directories were moved around within a project. - Git has a some nice graphical history visualisation and diff tools. -- John Devereux ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
