Because Subversion is fairly popular, but mercurial and git have svn interfaces. Thus the Django community seems to be "core Django development is in Subversion, but interface with whatever works for you, whether that's SVN, git, mercurial, bazaar, darcs, or even telnet". :) Jarek Zgoda wrote: > I'd say, if your team is local or small (up to 10 developers) or your > development is centralized, do not go with distributed system, > distributed system = more pain (with process management) + no gain > (for such small team).

I can't speak to using git (I tried it in the early days, but its documentation was wanting, and it had a duct-tape-and-baling-wire feel to it. It seems to be much better now from what I hear), but Mercurial's (and Bazaar's) command-line interface is nearly identical to Subversion's with just a few bonus functionalities for dealing with distributed aspects. I also find branching/merging less painful in distributed VCSes...last I checked, merge-tracking in Subversion is a nascent feature (I think it just landed in the latest 1.5 release) so I hope it's stable & great. But it's been in DVCSes for ages. Lastly DVCSes *can* be used in a centralized manner. So you can guess my verdict is to use the DVCS that fits you -- for me that's bazaar or mercurial (though I should revisit git as well to see how it's progressed) which I use even for personal projects. And I think for a project like Django, Subversion is an excellent "lingua franca" of version control that all the others speak. -tim --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
