To get +this, he had to write one. Covers the horrors of CVS, and why Linus considers +SVN's slogan "CVS done right" to be a contradiction in terms. Why a +distributed source control system is a better match for open source development +than a centralized one: "Distribution means nobody's special." Forking is +natural, and a distributed SCM is a tool to easily merge forks back together. +You can work offline, developers don't block each other during development. +Branches have no namespace issues. Every developer having their own branch and +can control what gets applied to that branch which eliminates issues of +security/trust/politics related to "commit access", and thus cutting a release +is something anyone can do. The "network of trust" in merging and cutting +releases securely. How git makes merging easy, and resolving conflicts.</p> + +<li><p>May 1, 2007 <a href=http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1742374580386548257>State of the Linux kernel</a> - Andrew Morton</p></li> <li><p><a href=http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4216011961522818645>How Open Source Projects Survive Poisonous People</a> - Ben Collins-Sussman and Brian Fitzpatrick (Subversion).</p>
