Hi Torsten, thanks for your work on WSUSOfflineUpdater, I plan to use it to build an offline gaming/audio work Windows 7 rig. Everything works well so far but I wish it was easier to send basic patches (suggested a solution in
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5712), SVN make it really cumbersome and a
distributed VCS such as git really makes things easier to collaborate.

Well git (the CVS, not to be confused with github the website) uses SHA hashes for integrity checks to prevent corruption/sneaky modifications. If you are worried about possible attacks on SHA it also supports GPG signing

Hope you will reconsider. There are other free git hosting services such as
https://gitlab.com https://framagit.org/ https://bitbucket.org/ ...if you don't trust/like github.com, or you can self-host gitlab or another open source VCS on your server (

Note that you can use git in the same way as SVN (edit files, add, commit, push)
Thanks again
