Each of them makes it slightly harder/easier to work in a certain way, but it's just a matter of degrees. I personally prefer Mercurial but wouldn't particularly care about a change either way. I would prefer either to Subversion primarily as what private development I do these days is on the train (when I'm not having a multi-week "discussion" with Lenovo about whether my dead laptop actually has a warranty or not) and so am not always connected. And Subversion was never designed to work disconnected to the central server. Michael - I'm pretty sure you can put a subversion gateway on top of either of Git or Mercurial, which would allow you to keep working with the tool you're comfortable with. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
