Subversion moves to ASF; Predicting bugs; updated SCM-Comparison.

Friday, November 6th, 2009

I’ll try to restart the version control blog with a new digest format.

Ben Collins-Sussman announced that Subversion makes transition under the wings of Apache Software Foundation. We also learn that Ben is Mercurial user now, at least for open-source projects :)

Jim Whitehead “Predicting bugs in code changes using SCM information” describes the experiment to try and predict bugs location, using historical information from SCM.

Our own SCM Comparison was updated to the recent master copy from Better SCM Initiative.

Full text of “Pro Git” book by Scott Chacon is available online: progit.org.

More than twenty years of Perl development history has been migrated to Git and is available at http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git. Previously it used Perforce, and it was somewhat unfortunate choice for an open-source project.
