It should at least be noted that CEDET is using bzr, and when Emacs switches, we will probably have to do that as well; not really for technical reasons, but simply to not be the last man standing. I don't see which advantages git has w.r.t. cross-repository merges. It really boils down to playing the patch|diff game. -David
