Dear diary, on Thu, Oct 19, 2006 at 09:02:16AM CEST, I got a letter where Erik B?gfors <zindar@xxxxxxxxx> said that... > bzr's use of revision numbers, doesn't mean it hasn't got unique > revision identifiers, and I can't see any reason why it couldn't be > used in the same way as git. There is perhaps no "technical" reason, but it's also what the user interface is designed around - most probably, using UUIDs instead of revnos would be a lot less convenient for bzr people because you probably primarily show revnos everywhere and UUIDs only in few special places and/or when asked specifically through a command (correct me if I'm wrong). Also, do you support "UUID autocompletion" so that you can type just the unique UUID prefix instead of the whole thing? > Both are excellent tools, and since git > is more specialized (built to support the exact workflow used in > kernel development), it's more suited for that exact use. > > bzr tries to take a broader view, for example, it does support a > centralized workflow if you want one.

Git can support centralized workflow as well - you have some central repository somewhere and all the developers clone it, then pull from it and push to it in basically the same way they would use CVS. And it is perhaps currently even more used in practice than the "single-man" workflow nowadays, as more project are using Git. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ #!/bin/perl -sp0777i<X+d*lMLa^*lN%0]dsXx++lMlN/dsM0<j]dsj $/=unpack('H*',$_);$_=`echo 16dio\U$k"SK$/SM$n\EsN0p[lN*1 lK[d2%Sa2/d0$^Ixp"|dc`;s/\W//g;$_=pack('H*',/((..)*)$/) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
