Mercurial

Post by rude »

Fear not if SVN activity seems slow these days. We're currently testing Mercurial, but we're not using the SourceForge repository yet.

Slightly off-topic:
Why did you remove Vera.ttf?
And are you using Doxygen?

Yeah, ok, we're not going back to Subversion. Mercurial kicks ass.

It kicks ass? Tell me why, I just used it, but I can't really say there is anything in favor of either svn, git, or hg, it all works..

I'd say Git. If nothing else, GitHub is just awesome.

The one really nice thing about Mercurial/Git/Bazaar/etc. is that it's always available.
If you need to commit changes, but you don't have an internet connection, you can still do it (although you can't "push" them).
Git might actually be better than Mercurial, cause Git has good support for using Subversion as a back engine for a central repository (thus using SourceForge's subversion alongside Git is pretty), but there are some plug-ins for doing the same thing in Mercurial:

http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/WorkingWithSubversion

Bazaar also has SVN support, but I don't really know much about Bazaar. I like what I've seen of Mercurial and have it installed (support for hg is built into NetBeans, so I figured I could use it), and I've heard a lot of good things about Git from Linux/*nix devs.
Take off every Zigg for great rapist.
Now, outgay that!
