I've been using Mercurial (hg) quite a lot, despite having an initial preference for git. (Mercurial seemed to have better windows support at the time we chose a DVCS, and that's pretty important at work.) We switched from svn, and I've found that hg works quite well. I don't have comparable experience with other DVCSs, but I've found that I'm *much* more likely to actually use version control as part of my workflow now that we're using a distributed system. We really only used svn as a fancy/robust way to share source code between numerous people. It was rare that anyone actually used branches / etc. I've been quite surprised by how handy it is to push/pull to/from multiple different repositories. I generally have two machines working on development branches, and sharing code (laptop and desktop), but either one may end up needing to pull/push bits to the central "stable"(er) repository. --Rogan > > Jason > _______________________________________________ > PLUG mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug > _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
