Unfortunately, Wikipedia's article doesn't seem up to snuff. http://www.dwheeler.com/essays/scm.html seems like a good overview of various players. http://ianclatworthy.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/dvcs-why-and-how3.pdf tells you why you should use it. I have found Bazaar's user guide to be a very gently gentle introduction to the topic: http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/bzr.dev/en/user-guide/index.html When you're ready for laughs, you can watch Linus give a talk on git: http://youtube.com/watch?v=4XpnKHJAok8 For anything else, Google it! > > > Thanks, > > Skip Cheers, Benjamin Peterson > > > _______________________________________________ > Python-Dev mailing list > Python-Dev@python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev > Unsubscribe: > http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/musiccomposition%40gmail.com > >
