Oh... That's been a long time since that one came last...
OK, a bit of history:
- first I slightly hacked on the original crosstool (then maintained
by Dan Kegel), and there was no repository, only occasional tarball
releases
- then I hacked a bit more, and that eventually became crosstool-NG
- this was done in subversion, since I was really comfortable with it
- I eventually reached the limits of svn especially when I witnessed
an unrecoverable repository crash twice in a row, with no apparent
reason
- I looked at the other existing possibilities (circa 2009-07):
- cvs? Muahaha!
- bazaar: you must be kidding me! ;-)
- git: widespread, powerfull, yet very complex to get up to speed;
one needs his flight license and 200h in active duty before beinf
able to at least land a merge sanely.
- Hg: repository set up and live in two hours, with no prior
knowledge of a DVCS.
- choice made: Hg that was to be.
Now, time has passed, I am now confident in my git abilities (although I
am far from being an expert). When I get some time, I'll migrate to git,
but there is n oschedule for this.
Anyway, there exist Hg <-> git converter, and one can even use git to
work with an Hg repository in the meantime.
Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
