The pull to learn new things out of curiosity is something I am not able to control at moments, so although I solemnly declare in another mail that I won't learn Mercurial these days, this doesn't mean that I won't learn it next week :-) Minimizing my sleep time, but having fun learning new stuff :-) > Or you want to be fluid enough to be able to get working instantly, > if you should happen to get accross a project which uses the other > VCS (that's the reason why I learned basic Bazaar usage - and it > paid off in the end, because I could easily write a Gentoo live > (=VCS) ebuild for oggfwd a few months later). That's a nice idea. Having an idea about how Mercurial works should never hurt, that's why I'm always paying more attention to the mails where you describe any details about Mercurial :-) > > The only major advantage of Mercurial over Git seems to be that > > it's easier to grasp initially (at least for people coming from CVS/SVN) > > Also you can very easily customize it with extensions... damn, we had that > discussion already. It took several weeks of pages-long E-Mails :-) Oh, I really didn't mean to make both you and antrik repeat what you have once said :-( I think I should really find some time to reread those mails if I'm really interested. > That discussion is the reason why I now tell people "find out what's > best for you - I've been burned deeply by git, but there are many > people who like it, and it's quite powerful" instead of "better not > touch git if you don't need to - except if you want to invest far > more time than it's worth". This is the most reasonable position :-) I always try to do likewise. Pointing fingers at things and declaring that they are bad rarely contributes positively to one's reputation. Regards, scolobb
