Subject: Migrating from StarTeam to GIT
Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2009 11:19:28 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <89b129c60902190919p2cdbe349o4a2a659617dae341@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
StarTeam has got to be the horrendous version control system I have
ever encountered in a company. StarTeam has this notion of file
sharing between what they refer to as views. Basically a view in
StarTeam can be thought of as a repository for purposes of conversion
and it can share individual files from other views. It can then branch
the files as well. Imagine, just imagine the mess of many many views
stringing files amongst each other. It's like a version control
system designed by my four year old with a few balls of yarn strung
all over the house. Hideous, I know.
I have avoided using StarTeam myself but others within the company are
looking for strategies of moving to GIT or possibly Mercurial. My
crew uses Mercurial and started using GIT but we do embedded Linux for
the most part.
Are there ways to migrate views in StarTeam to a DVCS like GIT? Anyone
have experience with this?
Sean
