Re: [Census] So who uses git?

Can I hear experiences from other big projects that tried to use
git [*1*]?  I suspect there are many that have tried, and I
would not be surprised at all if git did not work out well for
them.

I've been playing with Gnumeric under git.

270M is about 40% of the cvs repository size.  Given
compression I would have expected bigger savings.

Conversion isn't perfect, probably because the cvs tree has
seen some hacking over the years.  (I am not posting the URL
because I don't want to kill gnome.org.)

We haven't switched yet, but I expect that we will.  We are
looking for (in no particular order):

1. Offline history.
2. Patch sets and other things that'll make it easier to maintain
    more than one branch.

In other words, pretty-much anything but cvs will fit the bill, :-./
