+1 We're using bazaar at work, where we have a continuous integration system built around it. You basically publish a set of branches (one branch per module, i.e. glib) and some build machines will temporarily merge in the changes, check whether it builds, run all the unit-tests, and finally a black box test. If all went well the changes get merged into mainline. We've been using bazaar for this for about 6 months so far, and it's been working like a charm. The things I really like about bzr is that it's very portable, it's pluggable, has a nice API and doesn't exclude developers stuck on Windows. There's two things that would need to be resolved before we'd be able to use git: 1) A native Windows frontend that doesn't require cygwin. 2) Pluggable API, being able to extend/influence existing commands and functionality.
