Hi Gour, > a) what is wrong with bzr except? I know it's not so popular as > git, but darcs is even less, but I do not care at all. (imho, git > is, besides its own virtues, just overhyped.)
Yes, just the popularity. More people know how to use git than bzr, which means more people will perceive a lower barrier to working with us. Also, I've been using git at work every day for the last four years or so, which means that I feel personally very comfortable and productive with it. > b) why gitorious over e.g. github? (it just happens that none of > the git projects I follow is not on gitorious - all are under > github) It seemed a bit weird to host a free software bugtracker project on a web service that includes a non-free bugtracker. Gitorious is free software, so it isn't going to lock us in with any non-free features. > Since you use bzr, you could also use LP which has git-import and > other tools like merger request etc. It's a good point. I would have considered LP if it had been free software when I started out with be in early 2008. I think we aren't confident enough that we want to stay with bzr to move to it now, though.
