I know the last time we talked about DVCSs, we picked Mercurial. But,  
since we haven't yet converted the SVN repo to an hg repo, it's not  
too late to change our minds.

I found out not too long ago that there is a plug-in for bzr to add an  
interactive commit (aka record) command. So my only major objection to  
Bazaar is now gone.

So, what are the advantages and disadvantages?

Advantages:

- Sparkle uses bzr
- msn-pecan uses bzr
- We could use LaunchPad (or not)
- It's even more svn-like than hg is

Disadvantages:

- Last I checked, there was still no way to convert our SVN repo to a  
bzr repo (though it's been a long time, so it may be worth checking  
again)
- Less momentum behind it (though that's changing, especially in the  
Mac community)

Thoughts?
