This series of articles continues a subject that I started in one of my previous posts. Due to reasons I’ll describe in a second, Subversion doesn’t work for me anymore. I have a bunch of one developer projects that I would like to manage. My version control server (Subversion server at the moment) is on the Internet, works over HTTP. Because of that, it is slow. So slow, that it made me crying for a new version control.

Working with Subversion is still fun. If you’re working in an environment where all project participants are close to each other, then it is still my VCS of choice. This is because Subversion is a mature VCS with great community supporting it – this translates into excellent clients for various OSs, great support, etc.

Yet today more and more projects operate in a distributed manner. This is especially true for open source projects, where project participants often live in various countries. This is also true for people like me – those who prefer to keep their repository online from high availability considerations.

This series of articles is a summary of things that I had to learn to know Bazaar and to convert some of my projects from Subversion.
