The more I read on git, the less I think it is well suited for EMC. Baazar
seems much cleaner. Sourceforge can host bzr (but, since EMC is packaged for
ubuntu, why not switch to launchpad?)
Here are the most convincing arguments, imo :
>From : http://bazaar-vcs.org/BzrVsGit#Bazaar%20vs%20Git
*
*
*The key differences between Bazaar's and Git's UI are: *
-
*Directories are branches. In Git they are branch containers where you
switch to different views. *
- *Empty directories cannot be versioned in Git. *
- *Within a branch, changes directly made are emphasized over changes
from a merge. *
-
*Revision objects are simple: r1, r2 etc. In git they are
SHA1s<http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitGlossary#object_name>which are
represented by 40 character long hexadecimal encoding.
*
- *Git’s automatic merge and commit may create problems. *
-
*Git has over 150 different commands. The UI between these commands is
not consistent, and there is no unified GNU --long option convention
support. *
- *Bazaar uses familiar commands known to Subversion and CVS users. Git
contains a whole new vocabulary: for example, commit into repository is very
different in Git. *
*
**Robust renaming* **
*Git prides itself on being a “content manager” and deriving what got
renamed using heuristics. This mostly works, but breaks under certain merge
conditions. If you want your team or community to collaborate without fear
of breaking merges, Bazaar's robust renaming is essential as explained by
Mark Shuttleworth’s article
<http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/126>on this topic.
*
*See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/94861 for an
example of renames breaking in git. *
*Familiar commands for Subversion and CVS users* **
*While some differences exist at the option level, the core Subversion and
CVS commands generally work the same way in Bazaar. Git is different in ways
svn/cvs users wouldn't intuitively expect. Some examples: *
- *commit (without -a) doesn't take the latest copy of a file but the
copy as of the last add *
- *no update command *
- *revision numbers are SHA strings, not numbers. *
