Engineer for over 20 years here. I used them all. Don't miss the time when we had to do regular backups of CVS or SVN repositories because of possible corruptions....

The funny thing about git is that it was created by Linus Torvalds, the guy who created linux. Now Microsoft goes full into his work with github and the linux subsystem, although they were big enemies 20 years ago. Take a look how he is using it. He divided the linux codebase into its logical entities, like network, audio, graphics etc, and each entity has its group of maintainers. Every maintainer has his own git branch (Linus branch is the master branch, or the branch from which the linux releases are created). The contributors are forking the branch of a maintainer of the entity in which they want to contribute, they commit they changes on their local repo and then they create a patch file with the diffs (see git format-patch and git apply) and send it with email to the maintainer for review. If everything is ok, the maintainer is applying the patch to his branch and later Linus merges the maintainers branch into his own branch.

20 years is nothing, 200 years is nothing, real programmers are actually 5000 years old nephilim that fought king Solomon and wrote code on stone tablets but without a compiler nobody could understand it back then.

The irony is that question would never make it to SO toady, it's asking for opinion and there's no correct answer.

19:05 Git *has* a subcommand called request-pull, which can be used to instruct another server to pull specific commits from a public git server. But sadly github is not compatible with it, even though request-pull existed long.

0:20 we're using tortoise at work man. it's great

endeavor for source control was superb
