When you have a central system for managing the source, creating new repos is not as easy as one thinks. If you're doing your own development and not really sharing it that much then it is easy to clone your own other repos and do "branches" that way. But for more central development of code, where you want to have multiple streams of code active at one time, you really do want in repo branching, and HG just doesn't lend itself to that. I tried to get them to see this light and I was semi-successful. They understand that they need to change the in-repo branching behavior, but they aren't seeing it as a high priority. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
