I am interested in using git because i think git is great, but others should be free to use cvs if they feel it is needed. mike On Thu, Oct 22, 2009 at 1:36 AM, David Gerard wrote: > 2009/10/21 jamesmikedupont-gM/Ye1E23mwN+BqQ9rBEUg@public.gmane.org : > >> most people are working on very small subsets of the data.
