Hi Jelmer,

Heartily to say: I don't know. I've looked at config-manager several times
but never managed to get it work for me. So I simply have no experience
with config-manager to answer.

But I'd like to understand too, how my work related to config-manager
and Nested Trees specification (because some important details is not clear
enough in the spec for me). If somebody will help with this comparison,
it will be fantastic. Because many people will be curious about this topics,
I guess.

I'm not sure what you called "more integrated with bzr". The overall design
is VCS-agnostic, but current implementation is a bzr plugin, because there
is many useful code in bzrlib itself.

Alexander.
