IMHO, this is a killer feature of GIT. From a CVS/SVN user point of view, it has vendor branches done right. At work, we do that with Moodle, Elgg, EPrints and GForge. And the list is growing. That's why I'm working on the toolchain to make interop with CVS smooth so I can land patches in upstream projects where I have cvs access. cheers, m - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Mon Jan 30 07:30:30 2006
