  Mozilla's experiences moving over to distributed version-control, firing off Mercurial against Bazaar. It's interesting to read that they rejected Git due to lack of Windows support (Git has better Win32 support now), but in hindsight could have solved so

  A lighthearted look at Mozilla's decision to use Mercurial as their SCM of choice. It's worth noting that this shootout prompted large efforts on the part of the Bazaar development team to improve performance.

  • Astute readers of m.d.planning (or obsessive observers of the mozilla.org DNS zone file) may have noticed a new entry recently: hg.mozilla.org.
  • After a lively discussion, we decided to import the trunk CVS code using an epoch date (which turns out to be "22 Mar 2007 10:30 PDT", aka the MOZILLA_1_9_a3_RELEASE tag's pull date) as opposed to importing the whole history. cvs.mozilla.org will never go away, even if it's retired to the old-VCS's home and put into read-only mode, and the import, even of only the trunk, created repos with large initial pull times and space requirements.
