I'm migrating from Subversion to Git. It's about time, of course - decentralized SCMs have some significant advantages over the old-style SCMS such as CVS, Clearcase, Subversion and the like. I looked at Bazaar, which touts "Bazaar is a distributed version control system that Just Works." Sadly, I couldn't get it to work. It needed a lot of python modules that I, not being a python guy, don't really know where to get. Found some, not others. Funny thing is, Git "just works." Sure, had some hiccups with converting from Subversion before realizing that I had made an incorrect assumption about the repository structure in one case. Looks cool, though, especially when you throw github in the mix. Good stuff.
