Fabulous Ted.

I’m in the middle of working on an HG/CVS transition and this information will be invaluable for reducing the fears of our developer culture.

Thank you!!!!!

@Dan I think it makes sense at an organizational level to stick with the source control tool they’re comfortable with if there isn’t any pain. At an individual developer level, I think that learning a DVCS is worthwhile as there are other kinds of problems that you can solve with them. You also might find that you’d become one of the “key personnel driving that push” after finding some of the benefits.

My opinion is that centralized version control will be around for a long time, but knowledge of DVCS will be used in more and more projects (and will therefore be worth knowing).

Hi Ted – Thanks for sharing this presentation. At SeaJUG last night we had a brief group chat about Mercurial and git. Didn’t seem like many had used either. Where I’m working I know a few developers who are independently incorporating git into their work environment, but as an organization we’re probably going to stay split between using CVS and SVN. Migrating tends to come down to either key personnel driving that push, or a big enough hurt to make it worth the effort.

Cheers,

Dan
