I've been reading a little more about revision control. It seems pretty clear that the major holy war of the day is between Mercurial (a.k.a., hg) and Git. Subversion is another good one but is seen as being from an earlier generation. This is should not reflect negatively on Adam's talk, which I will definitley enjoy greatly, because all of the fundamental code-management issues have to be discussed and those issues apply to all revision control programs. Every article or blog post on revision control software that allows comments is followed by a little battle back-and-forth between git and hg adherents. I guess we should call it a tie. This article makes the git system sound a little more appealing to me as a lover of the GNU/Linux/UNIX command line: http://importantshock.wordpress.com/2008/08/07/git-vs-mercurial/ But the things I'm seeing make all of these programs sound kinda hard to use. I'm looking forward to Adam's talk because I know he'll help me to understand all of the issues a lot better. Mike
