Which Version Control System? (23)

I LOVE darcs. It kicks ass. It's extremely simple and low maintenance, never gets in the way. In fact it's so lacking in bureaucracy that I can even use it on little ~500 lines of code projects (and I do).

When I do record or revert, darcs asks me individually about every change. This is great. Even if I've made several changes, I can just record one at a time which makes it easier to track later. There's none of those awful SVN commits where the description is something like:

  • Change the foo constructor to accept bars
  • Fix the damned compiler warnings
  • Speed up pixel thrusting by inlining a matrix calculation
  • [... 8 other things ...]
  • Probably some more stuff I'm forgetting

And then you have no way to tell what was done without a diff. Those are so lame. Also with darcs, you don't even have to set up a server. darcs is the bomb.
