I was looking for some...That's a nice tutorial.<br />I was looking for something like this for ages.<br /><br />I am planning to use a versioning system for my own projects but I was not sure to use. I tried CVS a later I switched to SVN mainly because I can use it through SSH (svn+ssh) which is a must have for me. Is it possible to use GIT through SSH as well ?OnOffPThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15420648239183655318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796379.post-1160393636747760202006-10-09T13:33:00.000+02:002006-10-09T13:33:00.000+02:00Actually the new version of Bazaar is written as "...<I>Actually the new version of Bazaar is written as "bzr" :-)<BR/><BR/>There have indeed been quite some performance improvements recently.

I am not sure if bzr can already outperform git, but it might in the future, who knows? Maybe it's time for me to redo the <A HREF="http://blog.jozilla.be/articles/2006/03/03/bzr-versus-git" REL="nofollow">performance test</A> again :-)<BR/><BR/>I completely agree with your arguments about distributed revision control systems. This is the way to go in my opinion.<BR/><BR/>There are currently a couple of distributed VCS's. I mostly prefer the user-friendly ones. I enjoyed darcs for a long time. Unfortunately darcs is too slow for large source trees. The bzr developers tried to achieve the same user-friendliness as darcs, together with the advanced features of git and the likes. As you already know, bzr is therefore my personal favorite :-) The advantage of both bzr and git is that they have received extensive testing. git is being used by the kernel developers, while the guys at Canonical use bzr for Ubuntu's Launchpad.<BR/><BR/>Whatever the outcome of this battle will be, I believe the idea of distributed revision control is going to improve the situation :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
