Thank you, Felix, for the compilation of these alternatives. One very relevant piece of information that you've not added, is, how easily one could *move* from svn to such a system (including the full history of every file with revision numbers, log messages, etc), and .. for R-forge, e.g., which of these provide nice and flexible tools (as svn does) for an automatic web interface to inspect file histories, differences, etc. Regards, Martin ( maintainer of svn.r-project.org ) > Regards > -Felix > On 26 May 2010 10:29, Felix Andrews <fe...@nfrac.org> wrote: >> Hi, >> >> Just wondering whether anyone had thought about moving the R sources >> to a "distributed" version control system such as Bazaar, Git or >> Mercurial.
