I like Bazaar, though and will keep using it for projects I’m on that…use it. And also for some of my own files. But new stuff will probably be in Git. It really is fast, and once you get it down it isn’t hard at all.

Oh, and branches in the same physical directory is A HUGE WIN because I run my local sites out of said physical directories. git checkout and switch to another version of the code, or a new feature, etc.? AWESOME. With Bazaar I’d have to, what, symlink it? Have never even bothered.

I got some errors at the start of the Tailor process…but I guess it was just doing some checks because everything went well.

So, thanks! Kevin

I want to change branches in place like git does so I can just use the checkout command and any open files in vim will automatically change to reflect the branch change. Separate folders for separate branches? No thanks!</p> <p>Thanks for the script of course, it works great, although I can't figure out why the .bzr directory shows up in the git conversion...</p> Frankly I’m switching because branching in bzr sucks.

Thanks for the script of course, it works great, although I can’t figure out why the .bzr directory shows up in the git conversion…

It doesn't seem to pull any branch revisions, only the mainline. Honestly though, that's a price I'm willing to pay. My projects don't tend to be overly distributed anyway, usually one branch that represents me working on my work computer, and another branch that represents me working on my home computer, or similar incarnations of me working in a different location.</p> Thanks for the example, seems to work great, it will help when I need to pull any of my old work into git.
