AFAIK, Sun moves the whole OpenSolaris tree (kernel, userspace, docs, EVERYTHING) into Mercurial. They IIRC use "forest" add-on to manage multiple trees (for different parts of the system) at once. I think Hg with it's tree backed up into Venti would be great thing to have :-) And for big projects... I heard something about Vesta, but judging from the webpage it's really complex system and Unix only. > ron > -- Paul Lasek
