Actually, I chose to use git internally (for several months now) on my current main project because it was the only one of the three (git/bzr/hg) that I had never used before. I've learned a lot and would now describe myself as more proficient with git than the others. FWIW, git tells me that I have 36 branch tags in my repo at the moment: some traditional "feature" branches, some "main" subsystem branches which pull from the feature branches, some to mirror the relevant parts of CVS, a "master" branch for testing which I octopus my subsystem branches to - and then the high-level bits of the whole thing over again so I can easily keep an anoncvs-based copy. At first glance this many branches might seem to be overkill, but I'm finding that it works well - and remember that branches are very very cheap in this brave new DRCS-based world. The gitk graphical viewer is worth its weight in gold. As you say, I expect that I'll be able to do all of this just as well in hg - I'll just need to put on some differently-tinted glasses :) Ross -- Embedded Software Engineer, eCosCentric Limited.
