It is (or was) the version control system bazaar. It was a competitor |
| 20 |
for mercurial and git, but just wasn't quite as good. It was poorly |
| 21 |
documented, too (like git still is). It became unmaintained maybe three |
| 22 |
or four years ago. And it was written in python. |

I used to use bazaar until the Emacs project converted to git. It's |
| 29 |
time I expunged it altogether. |
