:-) That's a fair point. But it's not the point I was trying to make, which is that I'd want whatever DVCS is chosen to make the initial experience of a casual user / newcomer as easy as possible. Why discourage them in the first 10 minutes (which, BTW, is much faster than my experience with bzr last time I tried the Python repo) when we can make them suffer for a whole year? :-) :-) Paul. _______________________________________________ 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/archive%40mail-archive.com
