The difference git vs subversion is a discussion of distributed vs
centralized version control system.
I have been following the discussion around the Linux kernel and the
core argument for using a distributed system was that the development
team of the kernel is very large. I don't believe that there is any
project on opencores now that has so many developer that it would
require that feature.
Out of curiosity I did some more research and found this link for
example http://blog.ianbicking.org/distributed-vs-centralized-scm.html
It talks about some disadvantages of a distributed system vs a
centralized one.
I personally have only experience with subversion and cannot follow the
argument of Jeff that subversion is CPU or bandwidth hungry.
If there is really the need for a distributed repository, there is an
extension to subversion, called SVK http://svk.elixus.org/ that allows
to use subversion as a distributed repository. If I understand the
function correct, it does not require any addition to the server side
installation, but just to the client side. So there would not be any
further installation at the opencores site be necessary.
I believe from the administration, subversion is very similar to cvs and
hence may reduce the work to integrate it in addition to the cvs system
to the website.
Cheers,
Guenter
