I've been intrigued by git for a while, but as a long time user of svn I'm kinda cautious about moving on.
So today I had some time and used it to read up on the pros and cons, as well as try things out a bit.
It seems to me that git is clearly the better system; but that svn has the advantage of maturity.
Git in itself seems to have grown up, it's just that the supporting infrastructure and developer experience is still limited.
But - where I think git has a huge advantage is they way that you an import projects from cvs or svn - keep the history and crucially to commit your changes back.
In the work I do with Drupal I've found having my repository so separate from the central project to be frustrating.
What I hadn't realised before today is that git gives me the benefits of having a distributed version control system - without the central project (in this case Drupal) needing to change anything.
Linus has again created a wonderfully disruptive technology that puts more power in the hands of developers.
I cloned my git repository from git://github.com/mikl/drupal.git
It was so fast I thought it hadn't worked!
