Ask HN: What will post-git version control look like?
After CVS and Subversion we are in the Git-epoch. What will be the next thing? Is there something on the horizon, like the DVCSs that predated git?
Even then, Mercurial works in about the same operation model as git.
RCS introduced version control
CVS introduced version control with code exchange on a server
SVN introduced version control with atomic committing and repository wide file versions (as opposed to file-specific revisions).
To me it seems that HG is in that sense very close to Git. However I do wonder what might be the next revolution
The Git/Hg generation popularized decentralized version control and made code-sharing easier than ever.
