Versioning system - Subversion Vs. Git

[keith smith]

Interesting.  I was judging that since Git was emerging it might be better since on it's face it appear there is a movement from Subversion to Git.

I need to manage several projects.  Several different "contributors".  We do not work in the same local.  All home based.

Basically all I need is a way to track updates and keep someone from over writing someone else's changes.  

We also have someone who wants to put all of our Drupal stuff into a versioning system so it would be easy to tell if something has changed on the server.  I know to little to know if this is the way to go or if this is even possible.  

If it can aid in moving code from testing to production that would be a plus.  Really simple needs.

Keith - Your choice should be driven by the needs of your projects. A
centrally managed or "controlled" project is aligned with the
structure of Subversion - so SVN will help reinforce this aspect of
the project. A highly distributed project with many independent
contributors fits with the structure of Git - so Git will leverage
this kind of organization better.

both are good tools and while Austin is having *fun*, he should get a
*clue* about SVN - maybe from the free book at
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.branchmerge.html

In addition to the other Git resources mentioned, IBM has a good set
of articles at it's developerworks site -
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/search/searchResults.jsp?searchType=1&searchSite=dW&searchScope=dW&query=Git&Search=Search

Austin sorry for the rip - didn't mean anything by it.  I am looking
forward to your presentation - which meeting are you likely to do the
presentation? *really*
