- aegis supports atomic commits
- aegis's rename support is a bit esoteric (and of the 4 that support
them - are there any differences? the wording makes that unclear. it
might confuse people a bit to vary the wording on tools that have
the same behavior - ie, what's "fully supported" in comparison?)
- how about for arch's repository permissions - "access permissions on
an arch repository are global, but arch makes it easy to mirror
projects in different locations - so it is possible to emulate
access to a subset of the project list pretty easily"
- ability to work on only one directory: both aegis and arch don't
support this, I believe. Also note that arch uses the term
repository to refer to a set of projects, which makes the wording a
bit confusing.
- on docs - I'd say the documentation was good, but in parts out of
date and incomplete. While I agree that the layout of the Aegis
docs was bad, the content was quite good - I think you're a bit
unfair there.
- arch's command set - defined differently to what?
- aegis's command set - perhaps a reminder that it's more than a VC
tool, and also provides scm facilities like change control
procedures. the complexity is frustrating if you just want vc, but
it offers more than that.
