When I did a count a month or so ago of the number of projects using git, mercurial and bzr as self reported on each of the project's wiki's, what I found then was: git 115 (source: http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitProjects) hg 89 (source: http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/ProjectsUsingMercurial) bzr 48 (source: http://bazaar-vcs.org/WhoUsesBzr) Of course, there's no guarantee that each of the Wiki maintainers were as diligent about putting references to all of the projects, but to the extent that there are people in each user community who are interested in advocacy of their favoriate SCM, I would have expected at least some baseline amount of effort in keeping their wiki's uptodate. So it's not interesting as another data point... - Ted
