Sure. I was just noting that it's a question you'll likely be asked by<br>
viewers of the presentation, so anticipating it will keep you from<br>
needing to come up with a useful answer on your feet :-)<br></blockquote><div><br>Absolutely. It's a good point, and thanks for covering my toes. :)<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

<br>
</div>Correct. I was meaning that one can publish a branch using nothing more<br>
than existing hosting space with FTP or SFTP to write, and HTTP to read.<br>
<br>
Note Stephen J. Turnbull's reply also, which corrects me on Git's<br>
capabilities.<br></blockquote><div><br>Cool. Thank you and Stephen. Bazaar's out-of-the-box FTP support was a big deciding factor for me. I already had a domain and some cheap hosting, and it was very nice to be able to make use of that when starting up personal projects.<br>

</div>Right, that's the mistake. The equivalent to ‘bzr help commands’ would<br>
be ‘man git’; you'll notice dozens upon dozens of different commands<br>
there.<br>
<br>
Whereas the equivalent to ‘git help’ is ‘bzr help’, each of which<br>
listing only the most important commands. If you're comparing like with<br>
like you should show “Bazaar has about 13 basic commands, Git has about<br>
20 basic commands”.<br></blockquote><div><br>Ah, I see what you mean now. Based on some of the other comments in this thread, I think I will take this one out. Unless you guys think it's a good point that there are "dozens upon dozens" of git commands?<br>
<br>I originally had the idea for a "Some helpful commands bzr has, that git doesn't", but I don't know git well enough to know what that would be. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.<br><br>Some that I use on a daily basis that I don't think git has is:<br>
bzr missing<br>bzr alias (I've aliased a few common commands for my common usages: log --forward, shelve --all, etc...)<br><br>I didn't think this was enough to warrant it's own slide though.<br><br>Cheers, and thanks everyone for the advice, and experiences. Keep them coming.<br>
