Oh, wow. I didn't expect distributed VCS methodologies to get into Drupal this fast... expected different repositories for each project more like in three years or so :P

*sigh* I guess neither of you actually read what I wrote. Lemme quote the part you seem to have skimmed, and I'll add emphasis for clarity: On Jan 18, 2008, at 1:08 AM, Derek Wright wrote:
IF we wanted to get REALLY CRAZY, we COULD START to EXPERIMENT with distributed revision control ... to help manage private repos for _SOME_ of the projects on SEC.d.o. ...
Could work great ... but that would depend at the very least on people helping to complete the to-do list here:
http://groups.drupal.org/node/8102
and then implementing other versioncontrol API backend modules for whatever tool(s) they wanted to be able to use for this.
This could certainly take 3 years or so, depending on who has this itch and is willing/able to scratch it. Forget I even mentioned this. It was an off-the-cuff comment about "someday how it could all work". If you haven't learned by now, I tend to get big dreams, write them all up into the Grand Plan, then figure out what's realistic, and start finding a way to make it happen, at least the parts of the Grand Plan I personally care about. This particular detail of how I've been fleshing in webchick's proposal is at the very bottom of the list of things I care about, so don't expect me to work on it anytime soon, if ever. CVS + rsync + patches in the private issue queues are all I care about for now. It's so reassuring to know that people will always focus on the least important aspects of what I write and bend them all out of shape and proportion. ;) Cheers, -Derek (dww)
