I find hg, bzr, and svn all easier to use on Windows than git, and I use them all from the command line. For me the problem is that, while bash is certainly a superior "language" than Windows command language (a la cmd.exe), bash does not always map to Windows concepts/assumptions very nicely. This often leads to things occurring in unexpected (or at least unintuitive) ways (for Win32 users). Even though I use bash daily on Linux machines, I find using bash on Win32 painful (yes, even more painful than cmd.exe, which is really saying something!). Git requires bash. This makes it painful for me (on Windows). Also, Git _is_ worse on Windows than it is on *nix. It's just not as bad as it _used_ to be. It's functional. It works. But it is difficult to deal with, and a lot of Windows users I have talked to (as well as myself, of course) just don't like using it. I'm not necessarily saying that that means Twisted shouldn't use Git. But it _should_ be considered as a factor. Kevin Horn
