I am most familiar with svn and cvs, too but there are some things I really miss in svn ... I dislike the idea of branching there. git is quite new for me, too, but as I heard from different people it should be exactly what is needed here. I've got a comment on a blogpost from another Debian Developer. This site he mentioned on my Discussion page is worth to have a look on. http://www.der-winnie.de/posts/collab-maint_between_distributions__63__/discussion/ > > But I think that we should made this discussion visible for upstream. > What about moving it to mc-devel? Yes, indeed. I've cc'ed it. Is everybody here subscribed to this list? If yes we can use this list for a first start to discuss everything. Greetings Winnie -- .''`.
