Hi Benny, Yes, you don't have many committers, but you have many integrators. I think that is where the power of DVCS really shines. Now, I am not an expert on DVCS yet, and I am still wrapping my head around its concepts. However, its main reason for being is to support multiple lines of development and to allow the developers to control which pieces make it into "their" codebase. For instance, I have made some significant modifications to your codebase to integrate into my codebase. I have also submitted back changes to you. Theoretically, a DVCS system would make this much easier. I know you use Trac to manage your bugs, and that is also the system I am looking it, because it will integrate with Bazaar as well as the default SVN. I like Bazaar the best so far, because of its concentration on merge and its professional level quality website. Even its icon is a merge sign. I agree with the premise that merging is the all-important activity, and branching is secondary. Most VCS's invert those priorities. Anyway, I am still investigating and learning about DVCS. I'll be looking more closely at Mercurial, but so far Bazaar seems to be superior to it.
