This week we have to make a final choice of what technology will be used to replace our somewhat big subversion repository (2 Gigs). Huge imports are beginning to be a pain and we’re tired of the .svn folders and not being able to commit if the central server is down. <\/p>\n

As time passed we become more paranoid and started making automated backups of the repo using good old rsync, so we’ve organically saw the need for a distributed option that can let us commit our work even if we’re online. <\/p>\n

The obvious choices are Mercurial on BitBucket or Git on GitHub. <\/p>\n

I’ve tried GitHub with the free account on open repositories, and I’ve tried Mercurial on my own since it feels a lot more home (command wise) if you are an old subversion user. <\/p>\n

If you’ve tried both of these services, I’d love to hear your opinion. <\/p>\n

Update<\/strong>: Bitbucket. During the week that I wrote this article Atlassian bought Bitbucket and offered free hosting. Also the tool is a lot more friendly to svn-brainwashed users like myself and our team. Couldn’t be more happy after switching to a distributed version control system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
