[Python-3000] not switching core VCS (was How to override io.BytesIO and io.StringIO with their optimized C version?)

[Jason Garber]

Note: I cannot speak for git-on-windows (because we don't use it there)...

Our company recently completed a total conversion from svn to git on a large number of large projects.

At this point, Git:
- Is a very, very active project
- Has a easy-to-learn CLI, with some GUI goodies (the complex parts of git run deep, but give power)
- Is freakishly fast (10x to 100x faster than SVN in our case)
- Has goodies like "git stash, git grep", and the ability to switch branches fast (usually sub-second)
- Makes branching/merging/deploying a breeze
- Supports offline development
- Would make it very easy for the community to work on, test, and submit (even large) changes

After a lot of analysis of the VCS's available, we chose git based on the above, and more.

It has been an incredible benefit to our organization.

Same here...

Later,
