Since DragonFly is switching to git instead of CVS, something handy is ‘eg’, or Easy Git. It’s a wrapper around git that makes the transition from CVS easier, or so it says. (via _hasso_ on EFNet #dragonflybsd) The linked page lists some alternate programs that are also designed to make git acclimation easier.
A running description of activity related to DragonFly BSD.
Why was git chosen, and not Subversion which is under a BSD related license?
I am not a license crusader, just curious.
There was an informal vote, to see what people were interested in, and Subversion barely came up. Decentralized VCS’s like git and Mercurial are more popular, I suppose.
