The company I work for still uses a CVS(nt), and this sucks, time to changed that. We have a use case we often have problems with. If git wo= uld solve this problem, I would really have a good arg for the managers. The codebase managed by CVS is quite huge and therefore we have daily a= nd nightly builds. One problem we have is, that if there is a commit to cvs while the cvs update of the build job is running (and this takes 20 minutes), then we get some inconsistence, the build will fail. So the question is, if we would use git, this inconsistence would not b= e possible because the git pull will get the state of the sha1. Right? Thanks in advance for your clearification.
