From this graph you can also see that git is > on it's way to become more popular than CVS! > > http://tinyurl.com/3lf4mn Doing it as a percentage is kind of odd; it demonstrates that using version control is decreasing in popularity as more and more people who don't use version control submit votes. All of the version control systems show an upward trend in number of users, but most of them are not growing as much as the market is shrinking. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to get the people who use each of them as a percentage of people who use any of them, which is what you want for "market share". -Daniel *This .sig left intentionally blank*
