Sure, although if say git were sufficiently better than bazaar, that might be offset by a more pleasant time when actually developing the project. I personally use git locally even when upstream uses some other VCS, simply because it's much, much, better than them, and the annoyance of the extra syncing step is offset by far more facile operation for the bulk of my development work (merging/syncing consumes a relatively small proportion of my "VCS time"). [When emacs switches to bazaar, I'll probably try to find a git/bazaar gateway so I can use git locally.] Bazaar is, mostly likely, better than CVS however. -Miles -- Justice, n.
