Bazaar-NG: a distributed version control system
I have been using Bazaar-NG since I saw it mentioned in a Slashdot discussion a while ago (back
when the whole git/bitkeeper thing hit the fan). I'm only using it for a little project I'm developing
(software to run my website), but I have to say that the tool is very nice even through it is quite
young. I had looked at version controll in the past, but never actually used it. CVS seemed so
complicated plus I was always seeing things about how bad it was. I got as far as setting up a server
but never used it. I looked at GNU Arch, but turned that down (I was on Windows then and it didn't
support Windows, I don't know if it does now). I also didn't like the whole weird---file++
+names~~~ stuff.
But I've been using bzr and it is simple, and easy to use. Seems to work quite well. Some of the
more advanced features aren't there yet, but for my personal development stuff that no one else
ever needs to merge into, it works fantastically.
Beats my old system (full tree copies in folders organsized as root/year/month/day/*).
