This list has indicated that GIT, Mercurial, and SVN are the big three in OSS SCM. Next question: Are there any OSS issue trackers other than Bugzilla? Who likes what? TIA,
I've run Mantis (http://www.mantisbt.org/) in a production environment and liked it very much. I only really have Bugzilla to compare it to, though, as far as OSS projects.
I never really liked Bugzilla because (IMHO, of course) the user interface is just so 90's and the back end was a painful. Seemed like there were a zillion config files and settings that you had to change by hand. The whole thing always seemed half-baked to me.
Now, honestly, it's been a long time since I looked at Bugzilla, but at the time you couldn't customize the workflow, which is a huge problem with anyone not working for the Mozilla project. Maybe it's changed now.
As an aside, my favorite commercial bug tracker is Jira (http://www.atlassian.com) and if you're looking for tools for an open source project, they will provide them for free. Otherwise you must pay (but I think their tools are worth it.)
