Town Car Version Control

It's good to see FogCreek being practical and adding in Git support, based on how strong they were pushing for Mercurial before (Joel even had an online training[0]) I wouldn't have guessed they would ever switch to Git, but as Joel said "Religious war: averted." I wish more software would mitigate these debates with solutions like this, but its often not that easy.<p>This seems like a cool solution, I don't know if any of the other big providers are doing synchronized repos, do other similar solutions exist?<p>[0]<a href="http://hginit.com/" rel="nofollow">http://hginit.com/</a>

He says Kiln has some advantages over github in the corporate space, while github has features for socialized open source coding:<p><pre><code> So, specifically, Kiln gives you corporate things like: * code reviews * access control and permissions * fast code search * a news feed to follow code you care about GitHub gives you things that match the sociology of open source projects: * public home pages * a social network, with profiles * fork and pull workflow</code></pre> But doesn't github actually provide at least two of the four points he mentions for Kiln?

This Kiln ad/blog post conveniently dances around how GitHub also does the same 'corporate things'.<p>All version control systems have to support Git these days or they are headed for irrelevance.

It has to somewhat hurt that Microsoft just released and is rapidly improving some quite decent Git support in Visual Studio (and on the server side, Team Foundation Server).

I can't say I would ever trust my code to a tool written by somebody who thinks that this is a good idea:<p><a href="http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2006/09/has-joel-spolsky-jumped-the-shark.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2006/09/has-joel-spolsky-ju...</a><p>Also, calling Github a "VW Microbus" and implying they're hippie kumbaya love-ins instead of a huge, well-supported tool with the features he implies they lack… well. It stretches credibility.
