<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">Correct me if I'm
wrong, but could it be that the members of this mailing list are
slightly inclined towards git?</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">Well, for good reasons.
Since I discovered git, I don't think about editing any file on my own
hard disk without setting up a local git repository. It's not a matter
of collaboration anymore. It's the freedom to hack without thinking
twice, knowing I can undo anything I want. Even if the thing I want to
undo was committed a week ago, and a lot of commits have been made
since. It's that amazing freedom to tweak your code or configuration
file to death, and still nothing breaks.<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">If we're into using git
through emails, git bundle is your friend. In its laziest mode (git
bundle create --all) all commits (in the current branch, I believe, I
always do this standing on "master") are packed nicely and compressed.
Just send the single bundle file through email to the other
participants, and they can fetch or pull from that file, as if it was a
remote repository. Quick and painless.<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">I think what we're all
trying to say here, is that CVS, SVN or whatever may do the job for
you. But if you choose git, you'll have a great bonus for your other
future activities.<br>
</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">Have fun,</p>

<div dir="ltr">theoretically distributed version control like git
doesn't require a centralized repository <br>
i never tested this but you can use email with git-am and
git-format-patch<br>
