Git is a relatively new version control system.  At present (March 2010), we are considering migrating the GEOS-Chem repository from CVS to Git, for a variety of reasons:
 
*Git avoids some of the limitations of CVS (which is by now 20-year-old software).
*Git is in general much simpler to use than CVS.
* With Git, GEOS-Chem developers will be able to:
*# Download the most current GEOS-Chem source code online.  (This will obviate the need for having to download the <tt>*.tar.gz</tt> files.)
*# Develop and test their source code additions to GEOS-Chem in their own local repository, and 
*# Submit their mature source code updates back to the [[GEOS-Chem programming staff|GEOS-Chem Support Team]] for inclusion in the standard mainline code
