Reasons git would solve world hunger

Reasons git would solve world hunger.markdown

Reasons we should upgrade to git.

• vendor/rails without a Subversion mirror is a pain in my ass.
• Even if we did have vendor/rails somehow, we couldn't maintain local patches.
• Merging doesn't suck.
• That server crash wouldn't have put our source history in jeopardy.
• "That Guy" can commit as much as he wants without breaking trunk.
• I won't have to pare down my pr0n and music collection, since my repository will be smaller than a single SVN check out
• I won't have to pare down my pr0n and music collection, I won't have to check out a dozen different branches.
• We could use cool git features like annotate.
• Everyone can have local copies of all branches without running out of diskspace.
• The answer to every question would stop being "git would solve that problem".
• We could guarantee that we haven't missed a commit that should have been merged with the Github network graph.
• Collaboration on a large feature by a subset of the team would no longer be a pain in the ass.
• Two words. Git bisect. Trust me it's brilliant.
• Cherry picking mainline commits for a production branch of code is easy peasy.
• GitX. Screw you Windows guys.

Reasons the world would end if we used git.markdown

• You Windows guys might have to learn how to use a command line.
• Windows performance would be slow. The upside is that "slow" for git is faster than Subversion.
