(Maybe its already finished.) Not yet, as far as I know. I am partial to git because it is fast, flexible and can keep up with the history of code fragments moving between files (not just renaming). However, its current state for Windows developers is painful. While I don't use Windows myself, I do consider this sort of a showstopper. But git is actively headed towards supporting Windows quite well, and I would not want to rush into a different SCM just because of the Windows support when it appears that the severity of Windows drawbacks will go away mostly in a not so distant future. -- David Kastrup
