Git won the race for market share due to GitHub and O'Reilly. Bazaar died when Canonical pulled the plug on funding – and Launchpad never really took off. Mercurial stayed in the race longer, but when Atlassian bought BitBucket and pushed Git ahead of Mercurial, it presented the death knell on further traction for Mercurial. GitLab is just promoting that Git has won the race. Fossil never really got going in the race. Fossil retains the DVCS model where Git, Mercurial, and Bazaar really moved to being centralized with permissive and localised behaviour. The problem is that centralised is good for marketing and traction where DVCS is good for development. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
