No, using Git doesn't imply GitHub hosting. Likewise, using Mercurial doesn't imply Bitbucket hosting. I think it's a better idea to host a repository on something like a Gitorious instance, since it avoids proprietary extensions (such as those of GitHub) to ensure there's no lock-in to a specific provider. So please, mke the decision of which VCS *system* independent of which *hosting service*. And please choose a hosting service without proprietary extensions. > On the command line tool side, I personnaly feel like mercurial is > easier for newcomers.

Ok, I'm biased since I know more about hg > than git ;) I certainly agree that Mercurial is much more straightforward on the command line than Git. -- \ “People's Front To Reunite Gondwanaland: Stop the Laurasian | `\ Separatist Movement!” —wiredog, http://kuro5hin.org/ | _o__) | Ben Finney _______________________________________________ code-quality mailing list code-quality@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/code-quality
