Re: Should Quesa switch its version control system?

[Jose' C. <cru...@ce...>]

I'm used to CVS, I've used SVN, I've read wonders about Mercurial...
but frankly I don't see any reason to change... this is no a NAY  
vote, just a 'I don't care', you are the mai contributor, if you feel  
accostumed with Mercurial, I think we should change to that.
