On a techincal level git and Mercurial are fairly similar, however the git
|
||||
branching model is signifcantly better than Mercurial "Named Branches" for
|
||||
non-comitter contributors. Mercurial does have a "Bookmarks" extension, however
|
||||
this isn't quite as good as git's branching model. All bookmarks live in the
|
||||
same namespace so it requires individual users to ensure that they namespace
|
||||
the branchnames themselves lest the risk collision. It also is an extension
|
||||
which requires new users to first discover they need an extension at all, and
|
||||
then figure out what they need to do in order to enable that extension. Since,
|
||||
in contrast to the branching feature in git, this feature is a Mercurial
|
||||
extension, in general, its support outside the Mercurial core is less
|
||||
extensive. Finally, users who are not used to Mercurial are unlikely to
|
||||
discover bookmarks on their own, instead they will likely attempt to use
|
||||
Mercurial's "Named Branches" which, given the fact they live "forever", are not
|
||||
often what a project wants their contributors to use.
