The reason I picked mercurial were good documentation, cross platform, reasonably fast and very similar to SVN. I'm not sure it's the best one out of the distributed VCS choices but it worked for me.<BR/><BR/>I am keen to use it for managing our local deployment as mercurial remembers what changes have previously been merged into a branch (unlike SVN 1.4, although 1.5 attempts to fix this).Matthew Bucketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15152807926093631820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10026400.post-55553023003930129472008-03-18T02:57:00.000+00:002008-03-18T02:57:00.000+00:00...Interesting.

I'm particuarly wondering if the merge benefits and federation would do us well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
