Re: Emacs Bazaar repository

Sounds practical. I will start using bazaar baz/bzr(is it bazaar-ng
written in python or the earlier 'c' implementation). For records, I
have tried using all the emacs repositories from cvs,tla,hg,git and
will try bzr/baz too. Command usage and deployment based, tla was
toughest followed by git and cvs. mercurial were easiest to deploy and
use. If it is bzr (python implementation), it will share mercurial's
ease of deployment.
