Bazaar is great

  by brmassa

guys,

bazaar, with git, are much much better than old but popular versioing systems CVS and Subversion.

"bzr status" command (to see differences on your working dir) is simply lighting fast! doesnt matter how big your branch is!

its mainly used my Launchpad.net, the lair of another great open source project (K)Ubuntu.

Unfortunately, ohloh still doesnt work on bazaar branches.

regards,

massa

Easy entry to the distributed VCS world

  by dfoerster

Bazaar supports distributed repositories as well as binding a working copy to a central repository. This allows for a centralized development style known from subversion or CVS in addition to the modern distributed style. It also provides an easy entry for beginners.

Plugins allow the branching of and committing to other VCSs' branches. (This way bazaar can replace svk.)

Cross-platform VCS that's fun to use

  by awbush

BZR is not only a great distributed VCS, but a centralized one as well. Offline working, easy branching and merging, and the ability to setup the same workflow as with CVS and SVN (centralized server) is great. You can slowly adjust to the distributed features by breaking out of the centralized mode only when needed.

Other great features I've enjoyed since switching from CVS/SVN:

* True rename/move of files: you can move and ... [More] edit a file and (1) it will still merge and (2) version history travels with the file.

* Awesome plugins:
* bzrtools gives you the ability to shelve changes and bring them back later.
* bzr upload lets you push just the changes you've made to an ftp server (useful for cheap hosting where you might not have SSH access).
* lots more!
