As the question goes, whether to switch to some distributed version control paradigm (whatever its name), I can't see a projected switch as a pure advantage. On the contary, I believe that there are two parties with different interests: one that prefers the distributed paradigm, and one that prefers the centralized paradigm. I personally think that both approaches make sense. But I know for sure that just as there are people who feel severely hindered by a subversion-like approach, there are others that would hate to work with the git "pile of crap". I estimate that the git addicts are a minority -- but who knows?
I use osc and really like it for what it does. I do like git. I do not
think I am an addict, but I find it a lot more useful than svn, when many
people are working and modifing the same code base. SVN and GIT each have
there strengths and weaknesses. I would like to see git used. I think
having git and osc should be able to co-exist.
