[bind10-dev] distributed version control

[Evan Hunt]

Comrades,

This morning on the BIND 10 call I mentioned some things I'd read recently
strongly advocating distributed version control systems, and I said I'd
mail out links.

The first is from Joel Spolsky (of "Joel on Software"), discussing why
he's come around to preferring Mercurial:

Here's the tutorial he's written on Mercurial:

...and the first chapter is particularly relevant because it discusses
some specific pitfalls of Subversion:

And here's a similar article by Scott Chacon, praising Git:
