# Why Git?
|

I'm very curious about the main reasons of your leaving Subversion and moving
|
|
|
|
|
ikiwiki to Git. Are there only easier way to maintain and submit patches for
|
|
|
|
|
ikiwiki? It's very interesting for me, because I know you are long-time Subversion
|
|
|
|
|
user and very experienced with it.

I know that Git is very "trendy" SCM these days, but I don't understand the hype
|
2007-11-07 11:50:44 +01:00
|
|
|
about it. This's not only one distributed SCM on the free/open source world.
|
|
|
|
|
Maybe that model of work is better for you, but then you can use also Darcs,
|
|
|
|
|
Mercurial, Bazaar or SVK :)
