Before we get tangled in this train of thought: I created a head-to-head code_swarm of Mercurial and Git and it clearly shows that Mercurial development didn't slow down. The code_swarm isn't a fancy one with music and annotations, but I think you'll directly see for yourself what I mean: - http://www.rakjar.de/shared_codeswarm/hg-vs-git-short.avi red is git, blue is Mercurial. It is a result of my shared_codeswarm project with which you can create code_swarms from more than one repository automatically - and update them incrementally, creating new code_swarms of only the new commits in the repositories: - http://www.rakjar.de/shared_codeswarm/project_activity_battle_swarm.html Best wishes, Arne -- My stuff: http://draketo.de - stories, songs, poems, programs and stuff :) -- Infinite Hands: http://infinite-hands.draketo.de - singing a part of the history of free software. -- Ein Würfel System: http://1w6.org - einfach saubere (Rollenspiel-) Regeln. -- PGP/GnuPG: http://draketo.de/inhalt/ich/pubkey.txt
