The longevity of the project is very important. git being used for the
kernel guarantees its healthy growth for decades to come by then a
native version system will be built in emacs.
Let's not muddy the water with another tool that is seemingly adequate.
BZR was seemingly adequate and was regarded could do the job well. Now
years later we are back to square one.
I wish we could move directly to a tool that can serve us for a long
time and have it stayed out of the way of hacking on emacs.
