I've not touched that toolkit. I like git because I've found the
svn2git migration easy, the handling of authentication and integrated
GPG signing of authorized tags very helpful, and the merge functions
welcome. The improved centralization control that it lauds is
*precisely* one of the major factors that distributed systems don't
want, but it does have other intersting features. However, both
Subversion and git are supported on my faviorite major open source
repository, sourceforge.net. bazaar is not.
If you have the chance to try, how well do the bazaar/subversion
integration tools work? I admit that I enjoy being able to work
locally with git, and push and pull upstream as necesasry with the
git-svn toolkits and their proxy like handling for Subversions's. more
broadly supported central repositories.
