[Texmacs-dev] bzr or git?

[Gubinelli Massimiliano]

Hi all,
 to by any means an attempt to start a flame war. I'm just looking at  
DCVS to experiment a bit with them for TeXmacs developement.
I would like to be able to checkout and commit from the svn repository  
and locally use bzr or git for my experimental branches and maybe to  
publish some experimental branch before committing the result to the  
main svn repo.
I've looked at the two main candidates  (bzr and git) and it seems to  
me that bzr is more easygoing and offers better integration with svn.

In particular I like:

* direct branching from the svn repo (bzr branch svn+shh:// 
svn.sv.gnu.org/texmacs/trunk/src)
* possibility to publish branches on a server without having bzr  
installed on the server (using only sftp)

cons:
* bzr is slow in branching the svn repo (\sim 10 minutes operation for  
trunk/src on my Mac)


Do others have some advice on the choice of DCVS (keeping in mind that  
for the moment I do not think that it is useful to replace svn as the  
main CVS for TeXmacs)?

thanks,
Best

PS: I'm restarting to commit changes to the TeXmacs repository since  
it seems OK (only two revisions get lost due to the Savannah problems  
and they can be recommited using Joris' and mine working copies).
