Oh... That's been a long time since that one came last... OK, a bit of history: - first I slightly hacked on the original crosstool (then maintained by Dan Kegel), and there was no repository, only occasional tarball releases - then I hacked a bit more, and that eventually became crosstool-NG - this was done in subversion, since I was really comfortable with it - I eventually reached the limits of svn especially when I witnessed an unrecoverable repository crash twice in a row, with no apparent reason - I looked at the other existing possibilities (circa 2009-07): - cvs? Muahaha! - bazaar: you must be kidding me! ;-) - git: widespread, powerfull, yet very complex to get up to speed; one needs his flight license and 200h in active duty before beinf able to at least land a merge sanely. - Hg: repository set up and live in two hours, with no prior knowledge of a DVCS. - choice made: Hg that was to be. Now, time has passed, I am now confident in my git abilities (although I am far from being an expert). When I get some time, I'll migrate to git, but there is n oschedule for this. Anyway, there exist Hg <-> git converter, and one can even use git to work with an Hg repository in the meantime. Regards, Yann E.
