VCS

From OpenBrainstem

For many years, CVS has been the mainstay CM of open source software development. CVS has served us well, but it's age and limitations finally became too much for some to bear. In the past few years, three different CM systems have come along, vying to put CVS out to pasture. These are (in order of appearance):

• Subversion (a.k.a. svn)
• The GNU {Arch} protocol; the two most commonly used implementations of which are Bazaar and TLA
• GIT
• bzr (a.k.a. Bazaar-ng)

(Yes, I know there are other new CM systems that are becoming or are already available, but these are the primary ones for the open source community.)

I have used svn some. If someone prefers it for their OpenBrainstem project, they are welcome to use it. However, bzr is still preferred and recommended.

I have not played with GIT at all, but if someone wants to use it for their OpenBrainstem project, we are perfectly happy to have it.
