I\u2019ve chosen <a href=\"http:\/\/bazaar.canonical.com\/en\/\">Bazaar<\/a> for the following reasons. First Bazaar is just a cool name =). The <a href=\"http:\/\/doc.bazaar.canonical.com\/bzr.2.1\/en\/\">documentation is excellent<\/a> and it runs without any problems on windows. Furthermore it supports all <a href=\"http:\/\/doc.bazaar.canonical.com\/bzr.2.1\/en\/user-guide\/bazaar_workflows.html\">kinds of workflows<\/a>: It can be used as a personal versioning tool, you can take a central repository approach like SVN, and of course it supports the full distributed version control madness.<\/p>\n<p>So far I\u2019m impressed. The commands a easy to learn (mostly because the commands are similar to svn\/cvs). Even better, the bazaar distribution contains a visual tool, <a href=\"http:\/\/doc.bazaar.canonical.com\/explorer\/en\/visual-tour-windows.html\">Bazaar Explorer<\/a>, and Windows Explorer integration with <a href=\"http:\/\/wiki.bazaar.canonical.com\/TortoiseBzr\">Tortoise Bazaar<\/a>. Both are quite useful. Another surprise is that you can branch a SVN-repository, make changes and commits and then push the changes back to the SVN-repository. How cool is that? Also IntelliJ IDEA\u2019s support for Bazaar is quite good with the <a href=\"http:\/\/plugins.intellij.net\/plugin\/?idea&amp;id=3961\">additional plugin<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately all the shine feature cast some shadows =(. All the different supported workflows can be confusing. You cannot check out, edit and commit sub-directories of a repository like in subversion. And of course, since Bazaar isn\u2019t as popular as SVN (yet), the tool support isn\u2019t as good.<\/p>\n<p>Conclusion. I like Bazaar so far. (Way better first impressions that git). If you\u2019re evaluating a version control system, give Bazaar a try!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finally I\u2019ve installed a distributed version control system for my personal projects.
