Hi! > Thank you soooo much for using Mercurial versus darcs :)
Hehe, well, darcs is still cool, but Mercurial is really cool too. A bit off topic this, but here are a few aspects: Pro Darcs vs Mercurial: - Very simple to use. - Has more advanced amend-record, unrecord etc. Mercurial can only revert the last commit. - Has partial commits chunk-wise (you pick interactively which chunks to commit and not only which files). - Has cherry picking. Con Darcs: - Generally handles large binary files quite badly. - Suffers from really tricky situations/problems that can occur. - Doesn't maintain meta attributes of files. - The project seems to be slowing down. Pro Mercurial vs darcs: - Seems to be almost as simple to use. :) - Awesomely fast, even with large files. - Has several interesting plugins like patch queues (quilt) and transplant (some kind of cherry picking). - Has a philosophy of less magic but more predictability. - The project seems to be the top contender right now, moving ahead a lot. Con Mercurial: - Not much, but my main things would be lack of partial commits and less ability to unrecord/amend-record - BUT patch queues solves most of that. Anyway... Mercurial is my top pick for the moment in the DVCS area and I want to learn it more. regards, Göran _______________________________________________ Setools mailing list [email protected] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/setools
