Actually, I think I understand why. LL is using hg internally, and has been for a while. They just pushed things out as svn for public access, but that process caused all the meta data to be lost and had to be done manually, and therefore only sometimes in big large chunks. It is for the benefit

Doesn't hg use diff3 in the end, to do the merges? Every repository does. The difference between CVS and subversion was that CVS applies diff3 on the source files, and therefore couldn't deal with renaming files at all. Subversion has the provision of remembering file renaming separately, so it c

Yes hg (mercurial) is distributed. It also thinks in terms of "changesets" rather than "versions". Joel Spolsky of the Joel on Software blog just did a very nice intro and tutorial on Mercurial that you can read at http:///hginit.com . The first section in particular highlights the differences b

At the Open Source meet today, it appears we have a light at the end of the tunnel for the SVN repository, so we need volunteers, eventually, to help manage the hg repository. Here is the hg site for linden lab: http://bitbucket.org/lindenlab/ To help clarify the movement, the oss-viewer branch
