DCVS under Windows (was Re: [elephant-devel] Start of 0.6.1 Beta Cycle)

[Henrik Hjelte]

I am surprised to hear that darcs didn't work on windows. It must work
for some people though, there is even a GUI browser for darcs on
windows: http://tortoisedarcs.sourceforge.net/

I think someone (possibly PG) wrote he had never heard of anyone knowing
Common Lisp well switching to Java unless forced to. Likewise I have
never heard of someone knowing darcs switching to cvs or subversion. 

However, there has been at least one person knowing darcs well that
switched to Mercurial.

So being a big darcs fan, if for some reason darcs is not choosen, I
also give my second vote to Mercurial.
