[svlug] Preventing a Revision Control Flamewar

[Tom Pilot]

Ive seen flamewars in the past about source control.. see below the youtube of Linus Torvalds The Dork thinking he is god almighty, going to Google and telling them, and all others who tune in,  that they are all idiots and stupid for using CVS and perforce... AND THEY LET HIM. If I was there I would boot him out of the room or at least call him on being an asswipe. So he wrote a buggy kernel some years ago - so freaking what - so many other people used CVS and perforce to add to "his" linux wonderful things. I dont understand why people make him out the god he pretends to be and let him be so disrespectful to them. They need to recheck their spine.

Hmm, my early warning flamedar had a false positive then.

Hmm, I seen flamewars about revision control before (elsewhere).  I  
was just trying to keep things calm.  It's also a good resource to  
take a look at - there are a ton of different distributed revision  
control systems that all have different strengths and weaknesses.  I  
can't hurt to browse. :-)
