[Kde-scm-interest] distributed source control status

[Thomas Capricelli]

Hello,

	There were some discussions in august about studying the use of a distributed 
source control for KDE. My understanding is that some tests were made using 
git, and it was more or less decided that at some time, kde would migrate to 
git. Although I'm not sure how 'final' this decision is.

	The only other option is mercurial I think. I personnally use and like it 
very much. I had no time available to get involved in testing, but this is 
now possible for me.

	If you guys are interested, I can try to see if mercurial suits your needs 
(do you have a requirement list by the way?), make some tests, answer your 
questions, and so on.

	As an exercise, i've set up a mercurial mirror of some few KDE modules on 
http://sources.freehackers.org/kde-mercurial-mirror/hg.cgi (please be kind 
with this url and do not spread it, as it's on my adsl connection...). I 
understand that the overall architecture would change (maybe not one big 
repository but several conected ones...).

regards,
Thomas
