[chef] RE: Re: upload a version only once

["Florian Hehlen" < >]

Spork seems interesting indeed. But I am in the same situation as you. We
are using mercurial not git. 

I find the tight coupling to git in the chef world a little annoying.
Version control should be an orthogonal concern. I am sure there are some
great arguments why the whole world should use git... but still ;-)

Cheers,

My only issue with knife-spork was that it only worked with git repos (at
the time I was trying to use it), and our codebase at that customer was in
Subversion.  So, knife-spork wasn't useful to us.

But that was a while back, and I would hope that the plugin has progressed
to support other repo formats since then.  Other than that, it seems to me
to be a really nice workflow tool.
