Re: the next version of Lout

[Richard Cichelli]

Greetings,

I wish to affirm Mr. Roth's suggestion of git.   We recently began using 
it as an SCS company standard.  It is replacing a number of prior 
version control systems that we used, including Subversion.  Our 
experience with git has been uniformly positive.

Richard J, Cichelli.
