By curiosity, how would you compare git and Bitkeeper, on a purely technical basis? (not asking for a detailed comparison, but an "X is globaly/much/terribly/not better than Y" kind of statement ;-) )
Having used both in a past job setting (simultaneously even), BitKeeper was a huge win over CVS, but after a while, some of its tools were just very frustrating in comparison with comparable Git interfaces, and I had actually written a terribly slow BK -> Git converter just so I could incrementally import our BK tree, then use Git's history-viewing because it was so much more pleasant to work with. For small projects (~5 people), they weren't hugely different, but Git just felt more comfortable after a while. (It was actually possible to do a commit from the command line in a single command, without getting annoyed by the interface, for a trivial example.) - 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
