Re: [Bibdesk-users] o/t question re: SVN

I'll throw my hat in the ring for Bazaar (http://bazaar-vcs.org/), which is another distributed version control system (much like git and mercurial). It makes it very easy both to stay synced up with a central online repository, and to do "local" commits when I'm offline -- or only making incremen
