Which were the runners up? I'm planning on trying out Bazaar this week myself (only for source code and config files though -- my home dir has too much other junk in it that I wouldn't want versioned). They seem to have a nice active community around the project, pretty good docs, and it looks pretty easy to use.</p> urn:uuid:f287845c-ec58-11db-9f94-00163e5b4df7 2007-04-16T16:27:50-04:00 edavis <p>Very nice. I did a similar thing last year[1] with plain svn and it works amazing well. I am working now to try to get different &quot;profiles&quot; so I can get smaller subsets of my home depending on the system (e.g. console only settings for non-X hosts, work only items for servers at work)</p> <p>[1] http://theadmin.org/articles/2006/04/05/subversion-in-my-home</p> urn:uuid:f9746e3c-ec81-11db-9f94-00163e5b4df7 2007-04-16T21:21:31-04:00 llasram <p>dunno: I installed, created a repo, and did a few commits/checkouts with all the open source version control tools people have <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_revision_control_software">told Wikipedia about</a>. I was really more confirming they didn't blow my socks off rather than give them an honest try vs. Subversion. Now that I've started to get familiar with SVK, I may go back and give the distributed ones a more discerning look.</p> <p>edavis: That's my goal too, and something I'm hoping SVK views can help me with once they get a bit more stable. (Also fixed your pathologically-parsed link -- I'll add comment-previews one of these days.)</p> urn:uuid:a9f15984-ec94-11db-9f94-00163e5b4df7 2007-04-16T23:35:18-04:00 oic, name goes here. :) <p>Ah. Thanks. Personally, I tend to go with projects that have the best docs (I see that svn has pretty complete-looking docs).</p> <p>The way I figure it, if the docs are good, then the project is likely to not only attract users, but also devs who might contribute to it.</p>
