Are we disagreeing on the meaning of "was[n't]" vs. "is"? > The decision on Bzr was political, not technical Believe it or not, and to my *great* chagrin, I was quoted in the Linux Weekly News saying that (I supported git over bzr back then): http://lwn.net/Articles/272853/ "Juanma Barranquero sums up his (and others') objections: What I'm trying to say is: I won't discuss which dVCS we choose (unless it makes Windows development a PITA). But I agree with Jeremy Maitin-Shepard that the cause of free software is strengthened by us selecting among the free alternatives the one that best serves our technical, not political, needs." (Being a Windows guy through-and-through, I haven't yet recovered from the shame of being quoted in a Linux magazine...) But that was then. Bazaar now is quite a different beast, and apparently the next major release will natively support colocated branches and then everything I like from git will be in Bazaar. =C2=A0 =C2=A0 Juanma
