[ros-dev] Using git for all ros source as main revision control

[Alexey Komarov]

I'm using git on XP with TortoiseGit ( 
http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/ ) and it's work perfectly. I am 
not vote to use DVCS. I very like idea to using SHA-1 hash for identify 
objects (and revisions). I never use Mercurial, but as i know, it also 
using SHA-1 hash.. Perhaps Mercurial or Bazaar is better, then Git for 
ros, but i'm sure that, git is much better for ros, than svn.
