So through my development years I’ve evolved in the source control I have used from RCS to SCCS, to CVS…and aside from horrible sidetracking to PVCS, Synergy and a few other nasty solutions I stuck with CVS. I stuck with CVS after looking at Subversion repeatedly… the “Improvement” wasn’t in my opinion. Atomic commits were about all I wished on top of CVS…but to be honest being CM to a team of developers I think we only had an issue with that once or twice in over 5 years. SVN lost me so much, the loss of true TAGs and Branching… forcing version numbers on all files instead of just those changing… enough to make my CM life hell. So anyway times have changed and i’m a recent convert to Git… Or rather try to be. Git seems great if you are hacking on Linux…. working on smaller projects but support within boring old Java based enterprise development seems less integrated. So far working with eclipse and/or netbeans im finding it less fun than I hoped. Rather i’m trying to find a clear and easy path so that in future new developers can come up to speed fast and work well from within their IDE of choice. I’m hoping everything becomes clearer soon… guess im just an old Dog, hate learning new tricks 
its hard being a Git
