I only have experience with git. The problem with something like git-svn is that your git branch becomes an island. I can't share that branch with anyone else. So all I really get is git syntax within an svn environment. I have no problem working with svn and actually prefer it for projects that use a compiler. For PHP apps, git is great because nothing has to be built. Bouncing between git branches means I have to recompile PHP every time (or set up some system of symlinks). -- Herman Radtke hermanradtke@gmail.com | http://hermanradtke.com
