[vlc-devel] VLC Git Tree.

[Pierre d'Herbemont]

Hi all,

Thanks to Antoine (dionoea) we now have a git mirror of the svn tree.

See:
http://wiki.videolan.org/Git

I was wondering if any of the student were planning to use git rather  
than a svn branch. If so please keep me posted, I'll try to set up  
something better than current implementation.

The main advantage you'll have using Git, is that you will be able to  
keep sync-ed with the latest trunk changes & history easily.

Using a svn has its advantage too: it is the tool used by all VLC  
commiters. Moreover it is probably simpler to use than git,  
especially if you are used to cvs. But as a svn branch will be used  
for your work, the merge process will get more complicated: keeping  
in sync with the trunk will be harder.

(being sync-ed with trunk is certainly not an obligation but I think  
using latest sources has more advantage than the contrary)

Also your work history might even be lost during the final merge  
process into the trunk.

Well, whatever you think keep me posted ;)

Thanks,

Pierre.
