[TYPO3-dev] TYPO3 and svn

[Loek Hilgersom]

Hi Frank and others,

It could be worth having a look at git. Git stores all changes in 1 .git 
directory on the root-level of your project, so you can update 
extensions using EM without any issues. We use git to store entire 
projects, starting one level up from the site-root. This has the 
advantage that you there is no .git inside the site-root, and the 
repository also has place for things you don't want to have in the 
site-root (we store things like different server configurations, 
dev-data sets and deployment scripts in there).

Having .git one level above the site root means you could also use it on 
the production server (we don't yet, but I do see some advantages like 
those mentioned in this thread).

Anyway, having worked with git for a few months now I am not going back 
to svn anymore. It's definately an upgrade especially if you're working 
in teams and using multiple branches etc.

Cheers,
Loek
