Generally speaking I prefer Mercurial because it's simpler than git. As I am mainly working on Windows, I tend to prefer Mercurial to git also because the first one is very well integrated to the system thanks to TortoiseHg (TortoiseGit seems far less clean/light and more invasive). But, I'm quite seduced by git features regarding history editing and pull requests.
So I think that it's a good idea anyway. Let's do it! ;-) -Pierre Le 2 nov. 2011 à 16:26, "Carlos Córdoba" <[email protected]> a écrit : > Hi all, > > Now that we have 2.1 out of the door (thanks all for your hard work!)
