I'm not sure this is actually useful. You can't really commit from cvs or svn, and a straight checkout is actually easier in hg and git than cvs, which requires you to specify a user even if it's just anon, and they often show this in two stages. For those who don't want to install any extra tools I've enabled the tarball feature. You can grab a tarball of any revision of any project straight from the web interface. > I personally like git for its speed and simplicity to setup and > usage.

Git is very nice. But it is considerably harder to use than hg. Even for someone like Zoran, who is quite capable, but is too busy to faff around with something like this, I think that would be a barrier. The main thing for me re hg and git is that you can't go wrong with either of them, where as cvs and svn have too much baggage these days and most of the other systems have serious problems some where. Bazaar is probably a solid 3rd -- a Dr. Pepper to the Coke and Pepsi of git hg... :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
