This is a big part of why I usually go with bzr: while the git people are right that it's easier to find developers who already have some experience with git than other distributed-VC systems (and easier to find someone to hold your hand when you need it), I've found that it's far easier to just find people who know *svn* (or to have them find you) and port those people forward to bzr. And qbzr provides a pretty nice set of graphical utilities. A rocket scientist I worked with for a few years told me that he likes bzr because he was able to smoothly transition from *rcs* and has since been able to continually improve his VC workflow/habits at whatever pace was comfortable. And it's not just him--it seems like a lot of hackers in rocket science and similar areas are still using tools like rcs, or doing their best to just `not deal with version control', because rocket scientists have better things to do than learn how to use a VCS. And *distributed* VC really is a bit of a rabbit-hole, so it's nice to be able to choose how far down the rabbit-hole you want to go--and at what pace you want to go there. -- "Don't be afraid to ask (λf.((λx.xx) (λr.f(rr))))." _______________________________________________ This message is sent to you from [email protected] mailing list.
