It's an evolutionary battle: cvs ate rcs, svn ate cvs, and now the next generation is battling for dominance. I think it's too early to pick a winner, the way cvs was a clear win for so long, and svn was a no brainer after that. > If in the decision making process this concern could be taken into > account I think it would be beneficial.

Your point about interoperability is an important one, and definitely a factor in the decision. I think the risk is mitigated by tools like Tailor, and I have confidence that should we choose hg, bzr or something else, we'll be able to fairly easily convert if a clear winner emerges. - -Barry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iQCVAwUBRjn+4HEjvBPtnXfVAQIQdgP+JpcNOC+a5ZXanIF8NnL91a3mveR2rCu2 yemhPPv7HaJ7FyWKr7W9vAe1cyl7xG6lAsVvlARQNIyFyKxO76NvuZKb8mqUuUUz 7m+PPaJBW1uzTnmPQpxYPmWndZCkAQxjGzWZCNK9IkTg38RyrIIdzgzBqvY1XjAG ONadNBKUEU8= =Q/P4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
