It remains +determinedly file-oriented and doesn't even track the committer of a +change (because that's always you), but incorporates the design and +user-interface lessons of modern systems. It features sequential +revision numbers, lockless operation, embedded command help, and a +command set that will seem familiar to users of Subversion, Mercurial, +and Git. |
