| [eclipse.org-committers] Eclipse Repository best practices (was:	CVS, SVN, What is appropriate use of this list) | 
Hi all,
 
I 
fully agree that a bug filed against the "Architecture Council" 
component
is the right place for carrying on this discussion, so I just did 
it:
 
 
Thanks for bringing the issue up here, and thanks for all input so 
far.
Please continue discussions on the bug. I think it's on the 
Architecture
Council's charter to have such discussions about Best Practices, 
and
to articulate the Pros and Cons of various solutions. 
 
As we are capturing arguments and (hopefully) gaining consensus, 
the discussion sould eventually lead into creating a Wiki page about 
the options, pros and cons that projects have with respect to their 
Repository.
 
As a reminder, if you are interested in Recommendations made 
by
the EAC, or if you want to bring up issue with the EAC, here is 
how:

  At the E4 summit, I asked if we could do E4 on SVN so that a firm 
  I represent would be able to participate (they don't allow SSH through the 
  firewall under any circumstances).  My suggestion went over like a lead 
  balloon due to people's frustrations with SVN and/or the SVN 
  tooling.
As a consequence, I'm glad we've been having this conversation 
  here.  I don't know where else to start it.
But to improve the 
  signal/noise here, rather than respond to that here, I've responded more fully 
  on my blog (
http://coconut-palm-software.com/the_new_visual_editor), 
  which for unknown reasons was purged during the recent cleanup of Planet 
  Eclipse.
Back to this thread's topic:-->
I tend to agree with 
  Doug in the general case.  While the original query was off-topic, I'm 
  not sad that we got to air concerns about the SVN tooling.
I also tend 
  to agree with Ed that perhaps it's time for those still interested in the 
  current discussion about [CVS|SVN\GIT|Mercurial] to open a Bug and let people 
  opt into the discussion there if they care.
Regards,
Dave
