Like Mercurial: mercurial.selenic.com It wins over Git in three instances: 1) It is fast on non-Linux systems, 2) it has a syntax that is not arcane, 3) it works very well for a sole developer (you'll only need "hq init", "hg add", "hg commit -m 'message'", and "hg update [version]"). -- Phillip Gawlowski Though the folk I have met, (Ah, how soon!) they forget When I've moved on to some other place, There may be one or two, When I've played and passed through, Who'll remember my song or my face.
