Funny how everybody is speaking about the ease of merging. It is the very least feature I have ever needed from source code control. Most version control system are really brilliant in creating a version mess of intertwined branches, but off course I use version control to *PREVENT* such a mess. So I really would like better linking possibilities to other projects or standard libraries. That said:
- MS-Source-Safe did a great job here. But I stopped using it after version 6.0. The linking feature of VSS was great, but the stability of VSS was awful. - CVS is a hell. Only administrators seem to be able to create a link. - Linking is subversion is not exactly user-friendly, but it "kinda" works. See http://www.howtoforge.org/set-up-a-modular-svn-repository-for-php-websites for how I managed to do so with PHP. I don't have a real Python library yet, but I would use it the same way. Also, the latest subversion should support relative links. - I have no experience with mercurial. - I searched through the documentation of git and bzr, and could not find much. If anyone has more info on linking with Mercurial, bzr or git, please share it! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
