Hi I'd be interested to hear of any list members' version control software experiences. As a long time CVS'er who's realised that it looks to be heading towards extinction, I've been looking at the latest generation of distributed VC systems. Initial experimentation with Git haven't been encouraging - changes pushed to a remote repository with a working copy end up getting creamed, which appeared to be such utterly broken behaviour for a DVCS (or any VCS) that I'm surprised it's gained as much traction as it has (Googling around, plenty of others seem equally incredulous at this feature). I've a bit of experience with Subversion, but hanging around for an hour for repository updates, as a result of tags resulting in full-blown copies, pushed me towards DVCS's. Currently exploring Mercurial as a possible worthy alternative to Git - any user feedback on these or any others (Bazaar, Monotone, Darcs etc) much appreciated.
