[01:08] <mdz> tko: bazaar offers us a lot over git; it's well integrated with launchpad, easier to learn and use, more robust
[01:09] <mdz> tko: what do you have in mind which would make git attractive?  anything other than being faster?
[01:10] <mdz> bazaar seems much more featureful
=== heno [n=henrik@ubuntu/member/heno]  has joined #ubuntu-mobile
[01:17] <asac> mdz: git rebase is pretty handy
[01:18] <mdz> asac: what does that do?
[01:18] <mdz> reading http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-rebase.html, that sounds like what bzr does by default, automatically
[01:19] <mdz> if you have local changes and do a merge
[01:19] <mdz> oh, it's talking about commits, not local changes
[01:19] <asac> yes ... you can rebase
[01:19] <asac> its pretty handy if you have committed changes that are not yet ready for upstream inclusion
[01:20] <asac> e.g. if you upstream branch moves ahead you end up with with distinct patches for your features
[01:20] <asac> you can probably do it with bzr as well ... but there is not a single command that does that for you imo.
[01:21] <mdz> right
[01:21] <asac> e.g. for me its pretty nice to keep clean patches against mozilla code base
[01:21] <mdz> I'm not aware of one, though it's something which could be done easily as a plugin
[01:22] <asac> nice thing is that a rebase detects if you already cherry-picked some  commit from parent branch
[01:23] <mdz> asac: you import mozilla into git?
[01:23] <asac> somehow :) ... i import new upstream releases manually (e.g. checkins are not preserved)
[01:23] <mdz> what happens if you rebase, and then someone who has merged from your branch tries to merge again?
[01:24] <mdz> but your commits have disappeared
[01:24] <asac> you should not rebase on published branches
[01:24] <mdz> :-)
[01:24] <mdz> all branches should be published
[01:24] <mdz> I think the bazaar answer to the general use case is looms
[01:25] <mdz> that will give you a similar result but in a clean and mergeable way
[01:25] <lool> mdz: I suppose you saw keithp's post on the robustness of the storage?
[01:25] <mdz> lool: no
[01:25] <mdz> url?
[01:26] <lool> I think it's http://keithp.com/blog/Repository_Formats_Matter.html
[01:26] <asac> mdz: i will look at looms :)
[01:33] <mdz> lool: I don't know enough about bzr's storage model to know how it compares on those specific points
[01:34] <asac> mdz: i really like bzr ... i am just unhappy that we didn't get the mozilla deal :(
[01:38] (Mithrandir/#ubuntu-mobile) we have the offline repo access, the private branches and the distributed backups just fine, but we rewrite the object files, and don't really do compression
[01:38] (Mithrandir/#ubuntu-mobile) and we're much slower than git.
[01:39] <mdz> yes, I think every distributed VCS has those three principal advantages
[01:39] <mdz> I don't think we rewrite files, though we do append
[01:40] <mdz> Mithrandir: I'm pretty sure knits incorporate delta compression of some sort
[01:41] (Mithrandir/#ubuntu-mobile) ok
[01:41] <mdz> I admit I like the idea of git's batch compression, since it maps well to usage (the bulk of history is old and already compressed, new stuff can be packed up later)
[01:41] <mdz> it probably works well for small files
[01:43] <mdz> http://bazaar-vcs.org/HistoryHorizon is more interesting I think
[01:43] <mdz> it doesn't matter if the history is huge if you only get what you need

[05:54] (tko/#ubuntu-mobile) mdz: speed is pretty much the immediately most obvious thing
[05:56] (tko/#ubuntu-mobile) mdz: granted I've been mostly using git-svn but there's just something that makes it feel better once you get over the learning curve
=== mdz [n=mdz@yttrium.canonical.com]  has joined #ubuntu-mobile
[06:54] (tko/#ubuntu-mobile) I think my feeling about bzr vs. git is about perception mostly. I gather they're mostly comparable in terms of features, but git is faster and it's used by kernel, X and cairo. other than launchpad I can't name a single project that would have picked bzr
[07:48] <ferulo> tko: telepathy stuff
[07:49] <ferulo> well, they mix darcs and bzr IIRC
[08:14] <adilson> I finished entering all the basic hildon components (from Tommi's list) into launchpad. I'll now go over the python bindings which I believe we are going to need anyway.
