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

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.)
