Another take on the Vcs-Svn vs Vcs-Git graphs

Romain and Zack have a couple graphs of Vcs-* fields that show that Git usage is growing, but that Subversion’s is still way higher.

Here’s another take on the matter:

• as of today, there are 3348 packages with Vcs-Svn in unstable, and 1145 with Vcs-Git.

• if we group those packages by maintainer and we keep the top 20 for each VCS, 6 of them are teams for Git, versus 16 for Subversion.

• if we count Vcs-* fields without looking at packages maintained by teams, there are 935 packages with Vcs-Svn, and 724 with Vcs-Git.

Conclusion: s/A better CVS/Your lowest common VCS of choice/. (It’ll be interesting to see what KDE and GNOME do about this.)
