Ok: so what *is* the minimum required version, and why is the 1.5 version installed on code.python.org not good enough (as you complained about it)? Every time this comes up, I say "we can provide version A", and then somebody comes along saying "this is really bad, can't you provide version A+X?". This was the case always with bzr: first, 0.11 was not good enough, then 1.0, now 1.5. I wonder that if I install 1.10, whether that might not be good enough anymore 6 months after it got installed. Please understand that I don't know bazaar at all, so I have to trust the claims that any past version that was ever in use is so bad that it absolutely must be replaced. > As for Mercurial, I have been told their repository layout has not > changed since their first release and updates have been more about bug > fixes and speed improvements. Speed improvements we can ignore; for bug fixes, it would be good to know how much one can go back without hitting a serious bug (e.g. one that might break the repository).
