Echoing a post: bzr vs. git

Sorry Martin,
I think owe you (and David C.) a explanation for echoing it.

I just thought that it is a well written post about
the experience of a skilled user with bazaar.
Maybe the could help to improve the user experience with bazaar.
There are comparison pages on the bzr wiki. But David really seems to be a
long-time user and gave valid report on his experiences.

I have witnessed the discussions on (D)VCS on the numpy/scipy lists. These
people are also preparing great software. There first goal of many scientists
is not to write software but to have tools to achieve the scientifc results.
But once they see the power of DVCS, they'd more and more like it.
The latest efforts for better windows support and
improved GUI are good examples that bzr gain huge momentum in that community.
To me it really helped putting papers under bzr. Then, mutual review does not
give you many headaches.
I think that the develpers may also look for target groups outside the
tradiational software developers community. The new tutorials on centralised
workflow and for webdevelopers are good examples. The flexibility bzr offers is
great: repository on ftp, local directories, ssh, etc.

In that sense, let's improve bazaar further. I -- a user -- will test and report
bugs and requests.

Thanks for the efforts and I hope you understand.

Kind regards,
Timmie
