Mercurial would seem more sensible alternative, it's as easy to use as bzr. Github is a great service, but that may not be worth the learning curve for using git. Mercurial is also better supported on windows, git on windows is a hack. I use git for all my stuff these days, and like it, but there definitely is the learning curve. Main advantage of both git and hg over bzr is performance. Both do almost everything in a blink of an eye, with bzr you have to wait around. Popularity could also be a factor in the choice, don't know. Mercurial has a quite professional gui tool, Tortoisehg: http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/ . Mercurial also has very cool extra tools / extensions like Mercurial Queues for patch management. If we were to change over to, say, bitbucket and hg, we should still keep the launchpad project as bug tracking area. The thing to do now would probably be for Edward to play around with hg/git/both, and make the call. I could obviously help with the repository migration, if a change is deemed necessary / useful. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
