What's Hg:s story on Svn integration? To what extent can you use it with a Svn master repo?
(Btw, I would have said that Git is probably the one that's moving the fastest right now, and where the most interesting work is being done - but their Windows story is a tragedy (at least last time I checked) and I agree that the portions of the "community" that shows up in public places isn't always helping... I'm also a big fan of dogfooding, so picking a good-enough Python-powered Vcs definitely makes sense to me. If we need to pick one, that is. I'm still not convinced...) </F> On Feb 28, 2009 1:06 AM, "Guido van Rossum" <gu...@python.org> wrote: On Fri, Feb 27, 2009 at 3:41 PM, Sean Reifschneider <j...@tummy.com> wrote: > But, I did want to say... Thanks to Brett in deed. Would it help if I made a pronouncement? Let me express my personal feelings. Note that I can still be swayed many ways, so don't consider this a pronouncement, but perhaps it can serve as a catalyst for the decision making process. - Mercurial: IMO we can't go wrong with this. I've tried it a bit for small projects, and it's very easy to learn for a SVN user. I've talked to Bryan O'Sullivan, and I'm impressed by the customer list, which includes Mozilla and Sun. - Bazaar: Probably okay, but I'm lukewarm about it. It is also apparently still slower than Hg. It is married to Launchpad whose UI continues to confuse and frustrate me (e.g. why is the "report a bug" link so much more prominent on the overview page than the "download" link?). I also am a little worried that Canonical is a little too eager to get us as a "high profile customer". The good news is that Bzr and Hg are so compatible that Bzr fans will be able to use Bzr even if the master repository (probably on Benjamin's hard drive :-) uses Hg. - Keeping Subversion: This would sadden me, because merging really sucks, even with the 1.5 merge tracking feature. - Git: Too complex, and I've heard that a negative attitude prevails in the Git community. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ python-committers mailing list python-committ...@pyt...
