I've been talking with Elijah to determine what is needed in a DSCM. Basically, Bzr should be enhanced/improved to have branches in one checkout directory. For some reason this is important (for real developers.. not me:). E.g. DSCM will likely mean lots of small (private) branches; loads more than with a central system. There are other things as well, but Git has similar drawbacks, so it isn't Bzr specific. Note that I look for a DSCM system, not Git. It might be Git, but I haven't decided (DSCM development is pretty fast, so perfect system changes pretty often). > Well, there are bzr mirrors (I've got a few SJ branches in bzr for > example), and don't forget the huge Launchpad mirror of GNOME.

Then '$RCS-svn' link is not important anymore. -- Regards, Olav _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
