"Enterprise-class centralized version control for the masses" is the right way to go for svn IMO. With fast reliable networks, if svn implements the said roadmap features then existing organization probably won't need to move to DVCSes. Dis

Interestingly this flaw was reported in 2009 on Digg. http://digg.com/security/Quip_TXT_for_iPhone_FAIL_WIN_NSFW I am not sure if QuitTxt tried fixing it that time.

So what happens to QuipTxt now?

What was the version of bzr and git? Was this windows or unix? I suspect its unix only. It would be good to see the numbers on both platforms. Is this a limited rev history or the entire history? You also don't mentioned the exact commands

bzr has the bzr-colo plugin to support co-located branches. Like I said in another comment, I think bzr, git and hg are comparable and there isn't a clear winner (and there need not be). https://launchpad.net/bzr-colo

I have to agree. IMO bzr, git and hg are comparable and these dabates are no different emacs vs vim. My personal preference is bzr but I quite like hg also. I also like git but the only thing that keeps me away from git is the whole fanboy

This raises an interesting question actually. What works better, scratching your own itch (hobby project) and then putting a business idea around it (e.g. http://www.couch.io/ ) or putting business first? I think some VCs might prefer putt

I used vim for lisp for some time. That worked fine actually. Of course I didn't do things like emacs-slime, so, I always have a repl open in a separate window. ':set lisp' along with 'set lispwords=...' worked fine.

Or I could stick to the launchpad mirror[1] which is extremely fast. savannah uses dumb http for bzr[2] and hence it is slow. I have been using the launchpad mirror for some time now. [1] https://launchpad.net/emacs [2] http://article.gm

LuaJIT performance is certainly impressive. Is this Lua specific as the name implies or is it comparable to something like LLVM?
