No need to apologize, I think I used the work bashing inappropriately - I just wanted to say that the only way to understand the differences between the tools is to use them. Reading about them will only confuse you in my own experience. For example, I tried git once a long time ago (during an infamous discussion between git and bzr developers on the bzr M), could not understand a thing about it, and did not understand any point in it except speed. Then I was forced to use git because of bzr-svn constant frustrations - and I ended up to really like it. At last scipy conference, I tried to "sell" git advantages to Stefan (a long time bzr user as well), who was far from convinced from my explanations and my ranting. Then later he used it and liked it. Of course, the logical conclusion could be that I am just very bad at explaining why I like git :) > I guess I am trying to keep hg from > being dismissed too quickly I am not dismissing anything - certainly if many people hate git, it will be out of the possible choices.
