If I understand correctly bzr came to life much earlier than Monotone, Mercurial and Git but it was in beta stages very long. Bazaar-NG "repositories" to group bunch of "branches" seems inspoted by hg or git= =2E Git (and probably Mercurial) was inspired both by BitKeeper and Monoton= e. Monotone started to be reasonable fast around time when Git and Mercuri= al came to be. P.S. I'd like very much to see "history of SCM", with links denoting borrowing of ideas, similar to the "history of UNIX" graphs... --=20 Jakub Narebski Poland
