Ok just saw google code also allows git.
But I am perfectly fine with Merc, I just dont have any real experiences
with it except for reading the literature about it and having my
personal gripes. But I never really want to go back to a centralized
system with no local history.
As for the personal opinion.
I personally simply prefer git, because I dont like the one full dir per
remote branch structure merc has, this ends up with about 15 checkouts
in different dirs on the same project, for bigger stuff you all have to
maintain manually.
Git has the saner approach with keeping all branches local and remote
ones within one directory and allowing an easy switch between them. But
outside of that its core problem is the command set which is sometimes
outright weird (easy git helps with that on command line level however
and on ide level you never have to touch the dirty git porcellaine anyway)
But as I said I am fine with every solution except for going back to SVN
again :-)
Once you worked with a distributed RCM once, you never want to go back,
thats the order of things.

Actually after recomparing GIT and mercurial I still think Git is the
better although harder to handle system.
Too bad that Google code does not allow GIT as well.

+1 for extra examples.
With mercurial, I had already some 'strange' things (like directories
not visible in pre-commit list but still commited, ...) but probably
better for forking/branching. So no opinion about the technology used.

If we have the choice between svn and Mercurial thesn please go for
Mercurial. Merc is not my personally preferred rcs (which is git)
but it is way better than SVN and a very good RCS.
I think it should be no problem for most people to install Merc and
do a checkout especially since it has better Windows support than GIT.

hi @ all,
imo we should host some examples at apache-extras. it would be
easier
for contributors to donate their examples.
we have the choice between svn and mercurial. the advantage of
svn is
that most contributors are familiar with svn.
however, with mercurial it's easier for contributors to fork
the repository and to contribute their examples. moreover, it's
easier
to mirror the repository e.g. to bitbucket which offers more
features.
furthermore, it would be nice to have one repository per
subproject/topic.
e.g. myfaces-extval-examples, myfaces-codi-examples,
myfaces-stacks-examples, ..., myfaces-helpline (for easier
communication
on the users-list)
that would allow a clear separation concerning the wiki and the
issue
tracker.
-> +1 for mercurial and one repository per subproject/topic.

gerhard
