Phoronix: EdgeBSD Still Progressing As A Forked NetBSD Powered By Git

EdgeBSD remains one of the newer BSD distributions that is a fork of NetBSD but switches from CSV to Git for source code management...

This is SPARTA^W BSD!

NetBSD should just migrate over to Git.
Then NetBSD and EdgeBSD should just merge.

NetBSD can not switch to git because it is still broken. If don't need the complete history of your project use git.

Remember back in the day when BSD fans claimed that it was so much better than Linux because it would never be fragmented?

I would also be mortified if a major operating system used comma-separated values for source code management.

To be fair to them, the point of this is not to have YetAnotherBSD, according to their website https://edgebsd.org/ this is basically NetBSD-staging, R&D goes on here and then changes can get pushed upstream into NetBSD.

I stand corrected. I always mix them up :\

What is broken? Git or NetBSD or what?

There are probably migration scripts to migrate from SVN to Git and preserve the commit history.
If not, such a script could probably be written.
