Version control poll!

So what?

Sorry. Just asking the question. What's good about that? How does it make it so much better?

The guy who asks these questions reported to SD we were talking about earlier... He's a switched on guy.

Well, under subversion if you're not polluting the repository by committing, you're left to basically do your version control by hand -- if you don't commit to the server, your changes aren't being stored so you can't revert. With git you can snapshot your state at any time, revert to it, and so on, all in private. xp

Oh OK, assuming your development environment doesn't let you roll back stuff, then that would be true. I suppose Deano doing vim development would appreciate this.

and all the RoR/Textmate crew :)

That's true. There are lots of tools that would help them out.

But I suppose it would result in just developing the same things but in a different place. It probably is inevitable. I've come to conclude that people don't learn from history.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

version control is ~great~
