When you look at the situation with the Toolserver
where everybody has its
own toy source area you have a situation where internationalisation and the
upgrading of functionality to a production level is not happening. If GIT is
so great, then solve an existing pain which is the inability to collaborate
on toolserver tools.
GIT is cool, it is the flavour of the month. It is an improvement when it
proves itself in what is in my opinion a manifest dysfunctional source
management environment. When the Toolserver sources are all in a GIT
repository and its localisation becomes manageable, you have the proof of
the pudding demonstrating problem solving ability. When internationalisation
and localisation are part of the solution you are convincing that we can
move to GIT.
Toolserver has a social problem, not a technological one. They have
the ability to use SVN, or a source control system of their choosing,
yet they don't. This thread is discussing a perceived problem with a
tool we are already successfully using. Let's focus on one issue at a
time.
