Thanks. I plan to continue my work on it, but currently I've been distracted by other things... :( I think that the unit testing will become very useful when (if) someone will start the Windows port, as it can require a bit of refactoring and the tests are supposed to quickly catch errors. > Any chance to convince you to stick your stuff to a slightly more > ... conventional VCS?

I have no problem with git, as it is very very similar to mercurial and my main requirement is being distributed. :) I just tend to prefer Mercurial for these reasons: - on Windows it's native, without requiring cygwin which can be a problem with programs depending on msys (like GTK+) - its command-line interface is more streamlined than the git one - comparably fast (faster on diff and annotate, slower on checkout) - it's written in Python with C extensions for speed (the diff module) - the mercurial Trac plugin is more mature - even Linus spends good words about Mercurial ;) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XpnKHJAok8) - you already have here a (very small) mercurial contributor (me) :) Additionaly, if you are already used to Git I don't think you need a lot of effort to learn Mercurial. And, no, I'm not on Matt Mackall's payroll. ;P -- Buongiorno. Complimenti per l'ottima scelta. _______________________________________________ avahi mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/avahi
