Re: Spring server will expire soon
I prefer SVN myself.
Re: Spring server will expire soon
maybe watch linus torvalds' talk on git
Re: Spring server will expire soon
A talk is unlikely to change my opinion even if I had the time to look into such, but use may, and I'm using git for a particular project at this point so my stance may change.
Re: Spring server will expire soon
summary: svn is really slow and centralized, git is really fast, powerful, and decentralized.
Re: Spring server will expire soon
I prefer svn too, exactly because its centralized :)
And I don't think its slow..
It has easier to use tools (for windows at least), its easier to setup and use and has nicer revision numbers :)

Re: Spring server will expire soon
For personal projects git is actually easier to set up. No need to bother with servers or separate checkout dir and repository dir or whatever. (Just start git gui [right click on folder -> git gui] and click create new repository and you're done.)
You'll find SVN is slow once you've used git a bit more IMO (Though for those measuring SVN speed just from SF; the SF SVN implementation is quite sucky and slow AFAIK.)
Only thing I agree with are the revision numbers, and a little bit the tools, though in my experience git gui and gitk are good enough for 95% of the things I do with git (I remember only git revert and git blame to be really missing).
Another (big) disadvantage IMO is that git devs are quite stubborn... for example git doesn't support UTF-8 filenames on Windows (actually, it considers filenames on any platform just as a stream of bytes, making repos incompatible between platforms with incompatible encodings ...), and some git devs seem to be of opinion "great if you fix it, but if it makes things even a tiny bit slower for Linux users, then we will never ever merge it". (This issue makes me unable to use git svn at work.)

Re: Spring server will expire soon
I'll send when I'm on a secure connection. I'm glad it wasn't a problem on my end.
Re: Spring server will expire soon
Many thanks to Robin Westberg who just donated 380.74Ôé¼!! :)
Re: Spring server will expire soon
Well, it's not really that generous on my part, since it is the funds from the old Spring paypal donation account. :)
Re: Spring server will expire soon
I donated ten euros again, not really sure how much more I can give atm
Re: Spring server will expire soon
Thanks momfreek and AF!

Thanks det and Darren Shilling! :)

Thanks Baaaau :)
Re: Spring server will expire soon
Wow, thanks Neddie! :)
Re: Spring server will expire soon
You obviously have to much money neddie, pls send me some thx.
Re: Spring server will expire soon
Most humorously, that came out of my food money. Again. I do my job and I earn my way, and I'm still saving day by day.
Re: Spring server will expire soon
We should start a food drive for Neddie. I can donate some canned corn. Anyone else ?
Re: Spring server will expire soon
I have some organic spelt lasagna sheets, they are only slightly moth eaten.
Re: Spring server will expire soon
Nothing more embarrassing than that. Begone! I shall have ramen on rice!
