I'm hoping I'll be able to attend, but I'm not sure yet, so here's a couple of things I'm wondering about. I'm evaluating our CVS replacement, and had just about decided on git/cogito assuming the Windows version isn't too bad (we have developers on Win and Lin). Mostly we need better branching/merging. How's the windows version of Hg? Will you discuss any of the following points: http://www.jukie.net/~bart/blog/git-vs-hg http://changelog.complete.org/posts/528-Whose-Distributed-VCS-Is-The-Most-Distributed.html I've used git/cogito a little but I still think in CVS, so even though git appears to have more features, I'm having a hard time deciding how important that really is (if it's really true).
