As discussed at apachecon in Austin, i propose to switch from svn to git
for the ofbiz repository. The main reason being that all major contributors are using git and contributions are cumbersome, further, git allows for better branching and merging. Regards, Hans |

Hi Hans,
I whole heartedly agree. I was totally (still am) amazed by the countless features and speed of this version control system. Furthermore it would make my contributions a lot faster because of its distributed nature where I can easily branch out locally. One more benefit would be the ability to adopt a more powerful branching model such as http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/ Taher Alkhateeb On Apr 20, 2015 7:39 AM, "Hans Bakker" <[hidden email]> wrote: > As discussed at apachecon in Austin, i propose to switch from svn to git > for the ofbiz repository.

I don't agree that "all major contributors are using git."
Personally, I find Git to be an overly complicated solution to a simple problem. It frequently does bizarre things that no one understands, and you are left with things being mysteriously reverted for unknown reasons. This isn't a -1 vote though. I'm just making it clear that I will be dragged kicking and screaming into using it.

Like Adrian and mostly for the same reasons, I don't believe we need Git.
But there is one other major reason which has already been discussed in the other common ASF MLs. As Taher exulted, it's possible to create local branches. So people are able to do a lot of work alone without exchanging before committing or submitting. It will certainly not help to have this possibility. Remember our recent discussion on the lack or core commits reviews. With Git you end with commits bursts or big patches and it's then hard to review and too late to share ideas. So unlike Adrian, I'm even strongly against it. I will not hesitate to use a -1 if necessary!

If we only want GIT for multiple local development branches, then we are
doing for the wrong reasons. SVN doesn't hinder you in doing that today.

One of the most difficult and challenging issue with branches is _merging_
them. Git is a tool that is far more advanced in its feature set in that area. It seems some of the opinions expressed against git are due to unfamiliarity. The only way to be convinced is to try it on an advanced level as i don't think an email thread would be enough for convincing anyone of the merits.

I am thoroughly familiar with Git. I've used it on on three projects,
and that is why I don't like it. I have a far easier time merging branches with Subversion. Git always screws things up. I don't need to be convinced of anything. I have my experience and my opinion. But still, I'm not opposed to switching to Git.

I am also familiar with Git.
Please don't project your uncertainties regarding the expertise and experiences of other as their traits. And don't confuse advancement with suitability. A rocket ship is more advanced than a bike. But that doesn't mean it is suitable for more than just hauling stuff into space.

That's the point I was trying to make. Our needs in this project are
pretty basic, and Subversion handles those needs well. Git will merely make things unnecessarily complicated. At ApacheCon, the motivations for switching to Git were not related to OFBiz project management, but were related to local management of OFBiz-based projects. The common complaint was connecting local Git repositories to the project's Subversion repository. So, switching the project to Git will make life easier for some.

I have used Git on a project last year for 9 months, enough to get an idea I believe.

Sorry, I mean I second Adrian's explanation which is obviously not to vote for moving to Git

SVN allows for a local branching? Believing git only allows this was
the main reason for my recent switch. Are commit privileges not necessary for the creation of such an svn branch as is the case with git?

Thanks for clarifying Jacques,
I switched to git a few weeks ago because it allows non-committers like myself to develop as if having svn committer privilege. Having the ability to create and switch between branches for my JIRA issues was very liberating and convenient for generating patches. If svn cannot provide non-committers the same freedom then the git switch seems more worthy.

I have currently multiple local development branches in our SVN and they
are SVN based and they are all of the same bases at https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz. And yes, I have commit privileges.

Thanks Pierre,
I switched to git because committer privileges don't have to be granted before non-committers have access to development freedoms such as branch creations for conveniencies such as patch creation. Such a system seems to promote more open source collaboration.

Thanks for what, Christian?
Ah.... It seems you're misunderstanding me as I might have been a bit to brief. I have commit privileges in other projects. I don't have that privilege in this project. By the way, I have seen your recent git coalescence/aggregation regarding various issues into one big-sized patch. Affecting multiple components. This is, I surmise, the result of the way Git is utilised as a change integration tool from various private development branches before submitting patches/promoted. Which is a bit harder to achieve in SVN. At the moment I am not certain whether to llike or dislike the end result (the patch in question).
