<pros and cons of bzr, git, mercurial snipped> The distributed revision control page on wikipedia (bottom) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_revision_control in addition to these, mentions fossil -- something I had not heard of till now. Its claims seem to match the OPs lightweight requirements more closely than any other: (from above link) --------------------------- Fossil is cross-platform; its source code compiles on Linux, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows. It is not only capable of distributed version control like Git and Mercurial but also supports distributed bug tracking, a distributed wiki and a distributed blog mechanism all in a single integrated package. With its built-in and easy-to-use web interface, Fossil simplifies project tracking and promotes situational awareness. A user may simply type "fossil ui" from within any check- out and Fossil automatically opens the user's web browser in a page that gives detailed history and status information on that project. -------------------------- Well so much for the claims :-) What's the facts? Anyone with any experiences on this? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
