Indeed. Not only has git won the mindshare war, I have learned recently that the bzr project is stalled out and disintegrating. One of its senior devs has written a very interesting elegy to it: http://www.stationary-traveller.eu/pages/bzr-a-retrospective.html For hysterical raisins it probably falls on me to be the person who tries to talk the Emacs project into migrating off bzr to git. I think I can win that argument, but I'm not looking forward to being in it. -- <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/";>Eric S. Raymond</a>
