I think this is a reference to news:200701112229.58538.peper@gentoo.org
where I was asking about what would be a good distributed scm. Thanks for
testing jokey.

There was a massive thread on the git/bzr lists which marienz pointed out,
which has TBH given me a massive headache ;) The gist of what I read was
that both use UUIDs, but bzr leans towards local rev ids for styles of
development where full distribution is not required (ie star topographies.)
Additionally, bzr makes a new rev every time there is a merge, even if
nothing has changed.

I like the bzr approach of providing a framework, but I guess I'm still
leaning towards git, as I'm not really after a framework per se. So it's
good to know you can set up a repo which will commit to a svn parent.
