Subversion works great when we have access to central repository, but sometimes two or more developers work at client where they do not have connection to central repository. I am looking for DVCS that can help us where off-line.
It should:
- cooperate with Subversion repository so developers can checkout before leave, commit locally where off line and commit to central repository when they return
- easy exchange code between developers working offline
- work on Windows, GUI preferred; developers are used to TortoiseSVN
Anybody uses Bazaar, Mercurial, git or maybe something else and can show its advantages and pitfalls?
So far I started (really returned to) testing Bazaar with Tortoise Bazaar.
I have tried Git, Mercurial and Bazaar with a SVN repository and I have found that all three work pretty well (when using the their respective *-svn module).
I suggest you pick the DCVS you like most and use that one.
(The modules are git-svn, bzr-svn and hgSubversion)
