[slime-devel] Re: Mercurial

[Gary King]

Speaking with my common-lisp.net admin hat on, I'm happy to install  
either git, hg or both.  In fact, they'd probably be good to have in  
any case.

With my usual hat on (the one with funny ears), I'm wondering "why not  
darcs?". Did darcs lose out in the DVCS "wars" because they haven't  
managed to fix the "exponential time" bug?

thanks,
