I started with CVS and soon after moved to SVN, which was quite an
improvement. However, I recently learned git and would *never* go
back. For starters, it's *much* faster than any other system. The
use of branches is completely phenomenal. And the ability to quickly
set up and host a repository for anyone with just some file copies to
any HTTP share is worth its weight in gold.

Yes, actually recently I'm trying to learn git, and it makes a lot more
sense to do the experimental stuff in a branched repository and then merge
it in when it's done!!

Thanks for the responses guys, again, very appreciated!
I hope this thread would be of help to some other people too, although I
would still like more responses from more people ;)
