Agreed. That part of the pitch is pretty off-putting. I'd wager to guess it's just subversion, but who knows?

It's Mercurial, but it is a bit odd that's not mentioned anywhere on the site. The only thing I can think of is that maybe they're planning on having it work with other VCSs?

Still, not even a mention of the OSS project that you're basing your product on? Way to spit in the face of the massive coding effort you're using for free...

    We're not trying to hide it; trust me. In fact, we consider using Mercurial a really big selling point. We're just still working on clarifying the website.

      Ok, I see that you made some tweaks, which is helpful. I understand that you don't have ill will, but it's important to play fair. Also, so you don't get in a heap of trouble later, make sure you're posting source code if you're distributing it, as it's GPLv2.

        Merely calling Mercurial does not mean we have to license our whole product under the GPL. Modifications we make to Mercurial will of course be shipped.

        No, I know. I only meant Mercurial itself, not the whole set of tools you've built on top of it.
