The ASF is missing the boat here. It is like ... the 21st century? And core people of the Apache are not only thinking “SVN should be enough for everyone” but also make it exceptionally hard for projects to use the rigth tool for their job.

My bet is still on Git being shot down due to some random made-up “quality concerns” in the end.

ASF went from a helpful free software organization to a software graveyard: Ant, Maven, Subversion, Commons, OpenOffice ...

Sad, but that's reality.



Are you just trolling or trying to make some point? What part of "Apache is currently evaluating git" makes you feel that git is being shot down?

Git is just a tool. In five years there will be another tool that everyone cannot live without. And people like you will be telling Apache that they are dinosaurs because they have not moved to that. Right now some very dedicated and skilled people are donating their free time to running the Apache organisation and evaluating the feasibility of making changes. And you accuse them of lying about quality concerns (which no one has even raised). Meanwhile, your assistance to the advancement of open source is what exactly?
