Re: Subversion migration.

Hi,

I think a solution that would work really well is to go to Subversion, it's a really big improvement from CVS and at the same time mirror it to baz (as Canonical is currently doing). This gives the possibility to use baz for those that want and Subversion for the others.

It can be used as follow,

* Have a writable subversion checkout.

* Check out a read-only baz copy and work against your own branch with baz.

* When done with the patch you are working on, make a patch and apply it to the
  subversion tree to commit it to the main repository.

If you just want to go on as we currently do, just checkout the Subversion and skip the baz step all together.

I've been trying out baz a bit since lifeless and jeff where nice to help me get started. While it has a lot of interesting features (and I will definitely use the above solution myself) it's another way of thinking and I find myself unsure on how it works from time to time and have to go back and look it up.

Just my thoughts,
  Mikael Hallendal

No specific problem that I can see. CVS works and we could use it for
the next century, but it's fairly dull and inflexible. I think the aim
is to allow the project to start to reap the benefits of the more
advanced VCS systems now available.


(Yes, cvs has a million problems, but is someone actively being
hindered in his/her work by cvs' failings?)



As a developer, just the fact that I can't do 'cvs diff' when offline is
a real PITA. Now I've seen how things could be, and all the other
projects I hack on use Subversion, I find it less appealing to start
working on a GNOME project if I find myself offline with a few hours to
spare.
