About Turn on Version Control Systems

Just the other day I wrote about my plan to switch from Mercurial to Bazaar for my version control system. Since then, I’ve had a few days away by the sea and away from computers and email and blogs and all that stuff.

One of the things I was thinking about during my little break was my ongoing problems with procrastination. And a little light went off in my head—changing from an almost-perfect DVCS to a possibly minutely-better DVCS is almost certainly a ploy to avoid getting on with things that actually matter to me.

So I’m going to abandon that plan to switch to Bazaar and I’m going to keep using Mercurial—at least until I find that Mercurial just can’t do what I need. And, of course, I won’t be reporting on the outcome of my experiment with Bazaar.
