Just out of curiosity, why does gnus choose git whereas emacs have
chosen bazaar ?

Wouldn't it have been much simpler to choose bazaar like emacs ?

Thanks

We discussed it on the ding mailing list and there was a majority
consensus that Git was a better choice for Gnus.  Bazaar is a capable
DVCS but it's not the right choice for us at this time.

Bazaar is likely not the "right choice" for Emacs at this time, either.
The point was that Emacs is the right choice for Bazaar.

You can find out all the details at http://git.gnus.org/

The www.gnus.org web page will be updated as soon as possible but for
now please refer to http://git.gnus.org/ if you have any questions.

CVS access will be shut off shortly (right now it's read-only).  I don't
plan to bring it back or to keep synchronizing it.

I'd like to set up bidirectional synchronization between the Emacs
Bazaar repo and Gnus' Git repo; if you can do that or want to help me do
it please let me know.

Thanks
Ted
