If you want, you can ignore the distributed nature of mercurial and continue working with it as if it was SVN. I've left SVN behind some years ago, and I appreciate the flexibility of it when its handy. The social problem might or might not exist, or it might or might not arise, but sticking to a centralized vcs you'll never know, because you'll have forced people into one way to interact. I'm not going to go trough the hassle with SVN again and I'll stick to DVCSes for easy cloning, pulling, pushing, merging, queue adding/dropping and patchset application. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pyglet-users" group.
