Symfony is a PHP RAD framework like Zend Framework, CakePHP, etc… They have been using subversion for version control. Today while checking language section of github.com, i found Symfony version 2 is using git for source control.

See the announcement at symfony blog

http://www.symfony-project.org/

Other opensource project like CakePHP, Gallery 2, etc.. are using git for source control.

On ubuntu , when i run git svn, i get following error

root@hostonnet:/usr/local/zend/share# git svn clone http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/standard/trunk
git: 'svn' is not a git-command. See 'git --help'.
root@hostonnet:/usr/local/zend/share#

This is fixed by installing git-svn

sudo apt-get install git-svn

Linus Torvalds talk about git in google teach talk.

Every subversion and CVS users must watch this video.

we have switched from subversion to git as it allow partial commit (that is you commit part of changes in a file) and it allow you to commit offline, then push to any number of remote repository.
