Subject: Re: Revision control for Ruby

Depending how you work I think safety and productivity improvements  
can be large with many of the newer systems.  There are several that  
are worth a look.  I've used Mercurial a little in the past and liked  
it.   I also use Bazaar a lot and find it easy to use and very  
powerful.  Probably the biggest issue I have with Bazaar is that a  
plugin is required to use external diff tools.  It's no big deal, but  
that probably ought to be standard.  I'm wondering if git is gaining  
the most momentum in the Ruby community.  Maybe that matters.  On  
Windows git might still depend on Cygwin, although I've heard this  
might not be true anymore.   All of these tools offer large  
improvements over Subversion and CVS.   I would avoid older designs  
like those used in Subversion and CVS.
