Here's just one more pitch for bzr and launchpad. bzr can also import svn trees, and launchpad can host it, or you can host your own. I've used bzr for a while, and git just a bit and I think the user interface is better designed for bzr. Though I love the hashing features of git. Both are far better than svn. Launchpad also does bug tracking and mailing lists, as well as support for blueprints (specifications) for new features, help with translations, suport for answering questions, and an api, and is now mostly released as open source. https://launchpad.net/ Neal McBurnett http://neal.mcburnett.org/ On Tue, Aug 18, 2009 at 11:10:07AM +0200, David Welton wrote: > Hi, > > I have been thinking a bit about infrastructure for Hecl since my last > post regarding svn and git.
