That is good to hear. It's possible that my comments were misplaced, |
| 8 |
and it would be worth my while to reinvestigate git. Personally I use |
| 9 |
mercurial daily (xen) and I've been very happy with it. |

I'm under the impression that mercurial is easier to use than git, |
| 12 |
mostly because of git's philosophy of providing the low-level |
| 13 |
infrastructure and expecting other projects to build user-friendly |
| 14 |
interfaces. While that split sounds good in theory, it seems to |
| 15 |
result in one interface that's powerful+complex, and other interfaces |
| 16 |
that are weak+easy. Again, that's an impression, not recent personal |
| 17 |
experience. |

I shouldn't have made that statement since I haven't done it |
| 25 |
personally, only heard of it happening to other people, and not |
| 26 |
recently. |
