    Bazaar

    Bazaar

    Canonical

    Bazaar is a version control system that helps you track project history over time and to collaborate easily with others. Whether you're a single developer, a co-located team or a community of developers scattered across the world, Bazaar scales and adapts to meet your needs. Part of the GNU Project, Bazaar is free software sponsored by Canonical. Ease of use is a core value for Bazaar and there are many places where our focus on usability shines though. We identify revisions using sequential numbers per branch, not per repository (like Subversion and Mercurial) or hash strings (like Git). Our GUI log dialog is intuitive, looking very similar to what Subversion and CVS users expect. As shown, bugs can be associated with changes. Our storage format directly supports that: there’s no need to massage important metadata into specially formatted commit messages. Note also that many revisions can be expanded out to see the local commits made to deliver each larger change.
