I appreciate your apology, but my argument is not nonsense.=20 bzr's codebase was so heavily leveraged towards bad algorithms that it would have taken too great of an effort to fix it. Ultimately, bzr's slow code is what really killed it. It is slow to clone, slow to show you the log, slow to annotate a diff. Even people who tried to use bzr for Emacs primarily complained it about being slow, and only secondly about it being not git. Mercurial does not have these problems. - Jordi G. H.
