Eric Sink's blog - notes on git, dscms and a "whole product" approach

[Martin Langhoff <martin.langhoff@gmail.com>]

Eric Sink hs been working on the (commercial, proprietary) centralised
SCM Vault for a while. He's written recently about his explorations
around the new crop of DSCMs, and I think it's quite interesting. A
quick search of the list archives makes me thing it wasn't discussed
before.

The guy is knowledgeable, and writes quite witty posts -- naturally,
there's plenty to disagree on, but I'd like to encourage readers not
to nitpick or focus on where Eric is wrong. It is interesting to read
where he thinks git and other DSCMs are missing the mark.

   Maybe he's right, maybe he's wrong, but damn he's interesting :-)

So here's the blog -  http://www.ericsink.com/

These are the best entry points

  http://www.ericsink.com/entries/hg_denzel.html

To be frank, I think he's wrong in some details (as he's admittedly
only spent limited time with it) but right on the larger-picture
(large userbases want it integrated and foolproof, bugtracking needs
to go distributed alongside the code, git is as powerful^Wdangerous as
C).

cheers,
