Hi, When I was idly googling around for traces of VCS and popularity, noticed that Git is actually pretty popular. Googling for 'gitweb' and 'viewcvs' and other comparative web-frontend variants floating in the cyberspace I get these number of hits (in rough estimate) : 10000000 CVS 1000000 SVN 100000 Git 10000 Mercurial / Darcs 1000 Bzr This is crude, and I'm sure someone else will come up with a better estimate. The point is, when there are so many users, people don't read the lists or the changelog, but rely on manuals, and be surprised with this change.I was wondering why I use the git-xxx format so much (in muscle, and in scripts). And realized I have the following reasons: 1. That's the form documented in the manual pages (generated from asciidoc) 2. That's the name manual pages are in. 3. Linus said it's better (3 years ago), and I thought so too. (Situation has changed, bash has better completion for 'git' commands, so that's no longer valid) 4. There was a GNU Interactive Tools with the same name 'git', so it was better to avoid confusion then. (This is still the case with Debian, where the sysadmin can choose whether to make 'git' (GNU Interactive Tools) the default, or our beloved git. 5. There are many documentations floating around. 6. I'm used to it. regards, junichi -- dancer@{debian.org,netfort.gr.jp} Debian Project - 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.html
