I have to agree. Personally I think both git, bzr and mercurial are all VERY nice systems. If they weren't all started about the same time, I doubt we would have all three. I am happy to use either, but I have a small preference with bzr because it suites me. I'm saying this, just as a user, nothing else. /Erik -- google talk/jabber. zindar@gmail.com SIP-phones: sip:erik_bagfors@gizmoproject.com sip:17476714687@proxy01.sipphone.com
