Put bluntly, I think that the heavy politicalisation of the revision control field, with widespread territorialism and a few financial heavyweights trying to achieve market dominance, is too hostile an environment to support practical free software development. The antics of companies like Canonical, BitMover and Tigris have effectively nuked the field and it will take years before the radiation decays enough to support life. In the meantime we'll just have to put up with the various lousy options current available. You can't build something worthwhile when a heap of people are running around and trying to knock it down faster than you can put it together. Find something else to work on until this crap goes away. Should only take ten or fifteen years. -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | `. `' | `- -><- |
