I've not touched that toolkit. I like git because I've found the svn2git migration easy, the handling of authentication and integrated GPG signing of authorized tags very helpful, and the merge functions welcome. The improved centralization control that it lauds is *precisely* one of the major factors that distributed systems don't want, but it does have other intersting features. However, both Subversion and git are supported on my faviorite major open source repository, sourceforge.net. bazaar is not. If you have the chance to try, how well do the bazaar/subversion integration tools work? I admit that I enjoy being able to work locally with git, and push and pull upstream as necesasry with the git-svn toolkits and their proxy like handling for Subversions's. more broadly supported central repositories. > 3. laptop: same as 2b > > I may not have the terminology exactly correct, but I hope the basic > idea shows through.
