Bazaar is better than mercurial, one of the launchpad team is a squeaker.
Launchpad is better than github.
I have never used bazaar, but Launchpad looks great. https://launchpad.net/+tour/index
Ubuntu integration + translation + API are worthwhile

Does Mercurial provides an infrastructure like github?
Google Code hosting supports Mercurial. I'm not sure specifically what infrastructure you're talking about; does Google Code meet your needs?
I mean, if it doesn't , then it is nothing better than svn (the fact
that i could have a full copy of repository locally doesn't much matters). I really don't care what version control system used as a backend, i care about infrastructure around it. On a github its ultimately easy to get started and make own fork(s) of existing projects,
Not sure how well Google Code meets that need. Anyone?
Cheers, Josh
and moreover, all such things are tracked, not just sources.
So, users could see how much forks there, and could navigate through them etc etc. The fancy & clever diff/merge etc things is cool, but used seldom, because 99% of times you just doing edit/commit.

Eliot, how about using github for it?
I think that's great for the whole Squeak VM not just Cog. I'm not doing this now because I think Cog should live with the rest of the Squeak VM. Let's start a separate discussion on whether we should move http://squeakvm.org/svn/squeak to github, or at least to git with a home on machines we control..
It would be much convenient for use, since it supports branching and no need for someone to be added to 'official' list of contributors in order to push own patches. Anyone could make own fork at any time, and at any time, a core developer could backport the changes into official repository. I think github model is very good for community development. Then i, for instance, could push my own changes into my branch, and it will be easy to track, exchange and port the code between forks and official repository.
Agreed. Git and/or Mercurial is much better than svn. best Eliot

Hi All, I need to be able to push fixes to Cog into general circulation and for this I'd like to maintain a Cog branch in the Subversion tree. But how do I get permission and/or credentials? What's the process to add me to those allowed to write to the repository? Or is there simply a secret username and password that's told to a few? If the later can some kind soul let me have the password. I faithfully promise not to abuse the privilege. best Eliot
