The main issue I have is it's lack of release management support. And yes, unlike HTML 5 I do believe having release checkpoints benefits users. :-)<br>

Do I need (want to?) learn "git" ? and move to github ? My "Git"<br>
experience so far has been disappointing (I cant figure it out ! The<br>
model makes no sense and I never know if stuff is checked in or not)<br>
I have some projects on google code which has been sufficient and<br>
trustworthy as sites go ... but it has that "google owns you"<br>
creepiness factor.<br>

David, I researched these options a year or so ago and concluded it was<br>
time to learn git/github; however lack of good support for hosting large<br>
binaries kind of forces you to host those elsewhere. Google code seems<br>
like the other main option. I wonder if there isn't a possibility SF<br>
will right the ship, though?<br>
<br>
About git: you can use git more-or-less like svn, although there are<br>
definitely extra steps. One thing I have come to really like about it<br>
is the ability to commit changes without immediately sharing them with<br>
the world (you commit, and then push, as two steps). You could do this<br>
with svn branches, kind of, but they seem so heavyweight and I never<br>
really use them as much as perhaps I should. I do find myself searching<br>
stackoverflow every so often when I get into weird git situations.<br>
