we pretty much decided the extra repo data wasn't worth dealing with git submodules or other complex git over git scenarios, so we now just use drush to pull in updates and version them in a repo per project. certainly not the only way, or the best way, but it's a pretty simple way :)

Hi all,

Time was I checked out modules/core from CVS and used cvs_deploy to ensure correct version info. Now we've moved over to git, one should use git_deploy. However I notice that it's a) at dev, and b) has only a small reported number of live sites. Do folk feel git_deploy's ok for live sites? If not, may I ask what people are doing instead?

As a related question, do people feel it's worthwhile checking out from source control rather than just getting via the packager? When I first started using CVS it was to simplify the update process. However I now know about drush update, and wonder if there's any real advantage to sticking with my old ways?

TIA,

Andy
