Thanks everyone. You've all been a great help. I am now convinced to stick with Bazaar (at least until I find that it doesn't work for me -- which is unlikely). I can use either bzr-git or bzr-hg to access BitBucket :) Next big question. Is one better than the other ?? What are the pros/cons ?? </blockquote> bzr-git is definitely the more mature of the two. bzr-hg I wouldn't recommend for production use yet. It mostly works, but you're bound to run into issues at some point. It will eat your cat. <blockquote cite="mid:4EA098E6.70002@etrix.com.au" type="cite"> <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://bzr.bz">http://bzr.bz</a> does look good now. It looked very cheap and like one man shop operating a server from home, but it now looks more professional. It's still commercial with a minimum of $10pm. Very cheap for a business, but still free is better for very small companies, startup companies, etc. Finally, do you think there is a possibility that BitBucket would support Bazaar natively ?? Maybe SFTP or some other remote filesystem based access is do able?? Then again, might be able to do that with other sites that offer free/cheap disk space ?? </blockquote> I'm not aware that they're working on anything (they haven't mentioned anything publicly as far as I can see), but I guess it's worth a shot to ask them.
