I had thought that Ben had had a look at the Xircles issues and has
Mercurial and Git ready to roll and was adding Bazaar to the list
(because I shouted long enough and loud enough :-).  I am guessing that
Ben is trying the three of these out to lead up to a recommendation as
to which one or ones Codehaus should support.  As is obvious, my
preference is for Bazaar because I think the branch model and CLI is the
best.  I feel distinctly uncomfortable with Git, it is too bitty and
somewhat inconsistent.  Mercurial has quite a strange view of branch
which would take some getting used to.
