Why do people, even on this list, argue with the presence of features? You should argue with the *absence* of features! If, for instance, branches are not important to suckless projects, we should be looking for a VCS *without* branch support. (Actually, DVCSs don't need branch support at all as branching is part of the nature of distributed version control, in cloning the repo. Why would one want a second type of branching built in if this function is already available for free?) meillo
