Y'know, it's a false dichotomy between bzr and git... It's not as if git is the only other option. I think hg is far more usable than git and does not have the performance disadvantage that bzr presents. At any rate, I'm sure you will find no shortage of opinions from people who think git is far more featureful than bzr. > The practical differences between debbugs and trackers like the Savannah > one are rather huge. The same can be said between bzr and another DVCS. Really, the *one* feature that debbugs has and Savane (the software that Savannah runs) doesn't is an email interrface. - Jordi G. H.
