Its supposedly faster than mercurial now ( http://bazaar-vcs.org/Benchmarks ). > > Bitbucket: > > Pros: > Mercurial > Nice interface > Wiki > Simple management of ssh keys Something missing here is the fork ability.

It something I do a lot with bitbucket (and github), but I don't think that outweighs nice integration with a bug tracker. > > Cons: > Not free.
