Progress on bazaar-ng
(I should write more, but I've been busy.)
Bazaar-NG has been announced, and gained a cautiously positive reaction from the community, including in a slashdot thread about Bitkeeper. There have been some good suggestions but I think we're mostly on the right track.
The most contentious points seem to be:
- Choice of Python as a development language, and specifically whether the performance will be OK.
- Fused branches and directories: two specific points, one is that separate repositories are good for backups, and that shared branches are good for many development methods.
I've been using it every day for managing its own development, and it's coming along well, though there is still much to do.
I have a couple of busy weeks in April with linux.conf.au and Ubuntu Down Under. Before that starts I'd like to put in simple branch and merge commands and fix some other small things.
And there is a first snapshot release!
