To: "Jon A. Cruz" <jon@...18...>

Another solution might me to use Mercurial. It is very similar (in goals and day to day use) to git. It is written in Python.
This is the tool we now use at Logilab for all of our projects (for a year now; we used to use CVS).

Mercurial is incredibly fast (git also I guess). And once you have tasted disctributed SCM, well, you just can't imaging how you could have do without it for years...

Seriously, give it a try. Note that the first impression might me disappointing, but once this step is done, what a pleasure... I used to be a big SVN fan (I still find SVN a noce tool, but...), but mercurial (ang git which really is very similar) is an incredible tool for every day work.

This big drawback (for git and mercurial) is the lack of "tortoise" tool on win32 platform.

Note also that there is "all-in-one" mercurial package for win32 .

Unfortunately I've found that cygwin makes many things significantly slower.

My other reservation would just be that git was made to solve certain problems that we're not hitting on Inkscape. That point, though, is just something I've not looked into.
