Richard, while you are experimenting I recommend looking
at [1]
https://github.com/s4isystems/Bob/wiki
You can get dependency build and git integration from it

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [WDSCI-L] Sources in IFS - Retrieving directory
list is extremely slow

Using git for libraries and IFS directories is definitely a good thing.
IFS directories are much easier because you just commit changes in the
directory.
It gets much more interesting with source files.
No matter what the good thing is you still have the SAVLIB and SAV
commands available to backup your libraries and objects.
I'm currently working on a strategy to manage objects and library
releases in git as well for those who need more object management level
features.
Anyway have fun.

Richard Schoen

Hi Richard,
Like I wrote, I was experimenting. Investigating, if you like.
As our software has grown in complexity in the course of the years, and
is now partly stored in libraries and partly in directories, the need
for source management is growing. One of the options is buying or
building a system that manages both libraries and directories. Another
option is storing everything in the IFS, so we could use Git.
IBM appears to be moving in the direction of IFS. Compiling RPG from IFS
has been available for a while now; in V7R4 finally the IFS source is
stored in the object. So, that is why I'm investigating this option.

Hi Joep,
Not a specific answer to your IFS source management question, but why
not keep your source masters in libraries and manage versioning with
something like git ?
As an example my iForGit offering allows for immediate passive
integration of git into an existing site where there may or may not be
source versioning in place and developers use a mix of RDI and PDM/SEU.
No initial learning curve at all. Simply turn on automated pushes to git
repositories as a starting point and then move slowly in to more of a
git-style development paradigm.

Another option would be to write your own scripts to export and commit
members to git repositories as well.
