Re: [Gajim-devel] Switch Gajim source repository to DVCS
git is not very nice to Microsoft Windows and I guess we all love Python here. Ok Yann didn't know you couldn't bare svn anymore, I'm curious how that happened ;) I curse you all to go back to the days of cvs :P hehe On Mon, Dec 15, 2008 at 15:31, Michal 'vorner' Vaner vor...@ucw.cz wrote: Hello On Sat, Dec 13, 2008 at 09:24:33PM +0100, Nico Gulden wrote: recently we had a discussion about DVCS in Gajim's groupchat.

I'm able to, for example, edit the history before I push my commits, if I make mistake, with git. I do not think I can do this with hg. I do not say I can not do it. I just say I need to spend half an hour reading the manual. Which is not a problem if I want to develop it for a longer time. But it might stop some people from creating a single patch when they find a bug.
