Well, the discussion was about checkouts, so I was talking about
checkouts ;-).
Differences in nomenclature is really messing this discussion up. In
git, a "checkout" is the act of pulling objects from the object database
into the working tree. I.e., the act of "clothing" a "bare" repository.
but the ability to commit to whatever branch I like in my local repo
and then just send the diffs by email or please-pull requests to
upstream authors is what makes git work so well for me.
Sure. Once again, Bazaar does it this way too. There's an _additional
feature_ called checkout which allows you to work in another way,
though. As most "feature", it's not useful to everybody.
Now I'm really confused. Does bazaar have both "clone" (git-style
fetching a full repo and all the branches) and "checkout" (cvs-style
fetching only the working tree)?
Side-note 2: Three really great things that have made work a lot
easier and more enjoyable since we changed from cvs to git and that
aren't mentioned in the comparison table:
Sure. And regarding this, hopufully, most modern VCS go in the same
direction.
* Dependency/history graph display tools á la qgit/gitk
http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr-gtk
http://samba.org/~jelmer/bzr/bzrk.png
* Bisection tool for finding bug introduction revisions.
This took time to come in bzr, but that's the bisect plugin:
http://bazaar-vcs.org/PluginRegistry
* Tools for sending commits as emails.
(Surprisingly, I had added this in the table, but has been removed for
some obscure reasons)
Merge-conflict with the webpage? ;-)
However, I know that bazaar has many of these features. I was merely
commenting on the absence of these killer-features in the table. It
might help people pick the right scm for their project, which is always
a Good Thing(tm).
