Posted by timothy on from the shaking-up-the-betting-pool dept.

Flammon writes: "Linus has been overloaded with patches for a while and recently the issue started to become hot again. In an unprecedented move, Linus has started using BitKeeper, as reported by Linux Today. The benefits of BitKeeper are already showing from the large amount of detail provided in the latest unstable kernel pre-release." eirikref adds: "Read Linus' own statement and take a look at the BK web interface."

    Now I'm confused!

    I've been using CVS for years and read with great interest the recent Linux Journal article about the Subversion project to created a CVS replacement that is better than CVS.

    Then I see a Slashdot story about arch.

    Now, my FearLessLeader starts using Bitkeeper.

    Should I move from CVS and, if so, which is best?

    personable? Theo? Good God! he's like a living godzilla spewing white hot embers of death everywhere...

    not that i don't love the OpenBSD project (i have several machines running it), but to say that Theo is personable is like saying everyone needs a porcupine to snuggle up with at night.

    Maybe I should just ask him.
