Git makes it easy to stay in sync, work on my own private branch, rebase my branch whenever I need to, squash my own tiny commits into a single patch, and otherwise protect me from myself that it's definitely made working on Perl a good bit less intimidating to consider. I'm not saying it's a cure for cancer or anything, just that I probably would never have considered it until the switch to git (or maybe SVK, but I like git better, now). -- DavidThread Previous | Thread Next
