OK, I admit it. This is awesome. I'm still getting used to committing to PostgreSQL with git rather than CVS, but it's sort of like the feeling of being let out of the dungeon. Wow, sunlight, what am I supposed to do about that?
Actually, I've never really been into CVS bashing; it's an OK system for what it does. And compare to RCS, which I actually used once or twice a long time ago, it's positively phenomenal. But git, despite its imperfections, is just a lot better.
There are two major things that caused problems for me when committing to CVS. First, it was painfully slow. Second, since I was doing all of my development work on git, that meant extracting the patch, applying it to CVS, making sure to CVS add/rm any new/deleted files, retyping (or copying) the commit message, and double-checking that I hadn't messed anything up while moving the patch around.
Nice! I feel like someone gave me an easy button.![]()
