PCSX2 source code development switches to Git

[avih]

I know that when using Mercurial (yet another DCVS), if the tree only has one head then the revision IDs could have a sequential part to them, like 5536:[random-hash]. Not sure if git has it or if it can be applied to git or to the pcsx2 repo.

is there a good reason for using hash-tags?
Is it because of the forking?

What hash tags? what forking?

This should be a non-issue. PPSSPP can do it. http://www.ppsspp.org/downloads.html

you can get GIT to return versions like that, though they still dont help a lot. But the hashes we currently have are the GIT default.

Since I use SVN builds a lot, is it possible to link Orphis builds to Github?
PPSSPP does it:

You didn't read the first post now did you?

My bad, I skimmed that part.
I'll be patient then.

The revision hash (hash-tag was not meant in the way like #yolo). Is it made because everybody can fork his work to pcsx2 so that there would not be a real revision-number (or many numbers in parallel).

there seems to be a reason Git uses those hashes or?

Yeah, because git is a distributed system, it's not possible to "serialize" all the patches/revisions out there. But it is, theoretically, possible to use serial tags on single tree if it's managed appropriately. As I said earlier, I'm not sure if or how it can be achieved with git.
