Expect another tool to learn

I’m going over what I hope is a fool proof development install procedure for a large project. I need to include specific versions of gcc, and I think it might be nice to run the gcc tests, since all of this is automated anyway. Which brought me to expect. Sounds like I would do well to know this tool, and possibly it will be useful in the testing of the very project I’m working on.

While writing up the plan I have been assuming we would use svn. I really like svn, but it may be that git is better suited as one of the difficult constraints I have is supporting development on air gapped machines. One comparison note appears here. A long paper on Distributed (git) vs. Centralized (svn) development appears here.
