HgInit is actually a pretty good introduction to distributed version control. it doesn't sell it very well (sooo complex, comparatively), but it does a good job of explaining the mechanics »« 15:19 22/03/10 | permalink | mercurial tutorial hg programming

warehouse looks pretty good, but it requires both ruby on rails (easy-ish to install) and the ruby-svn bindings (which are basically a bitch). why do the harder languages to get up and running on the web (ruby and python) require the bindings while the easier languages (php and perl) just shell out and so work easily? gah. currently using websvn in php which does a reasonable job and is trivial to set up. »« 19:13 28/02/09 | permalink | subversion svn browser tools development programming rails rubyonrails ruby web python
