<div>= Synopsis =<br />
<br />
We need to move off of CVS soon.<br />
<br />
We're moving to Git.<br />
<br />
The rest of the information here is of historical interest.<br />
<br />
= Systems =<br />
<br />
== The big three ==<br />
* Git - all the cool kids are using it these days (C)<br />
* Mercurial/Hg (python)<br />
* Bazaar - Canoical/Ubuntu/Launchpad (python)<br />
<br />
== The dark horses ==<br />
* monotone (C++)<br />
* Darcs (haskell)<br />
<br />
== Not considering ==<br />
* Subversion, if we're going to migrate, it might as well be to something better enough to bother<br />
* Codeville, its dead jim<br />
* Vesta, commercial abandonware, not distributed<br />
* Aegis - a strange beast. Probably not for us.<br />
<br />
= Requirements =<br />
<br />
* Import from CVS, preserving history (not just tips of our three branches)<br />
* Web interface not completely unlike viewvc.cgi<br />
* Good support for moving/renaming files and whole directories (i.e. preserving history)<br />
* Useful versions (incl. viewvc.cgi-alike) utility in Debian stable or backports (bzr: no)<br />
* What else?<br />
