[Adium-devl] bzr instead of hg?

[David Smith]

	As I'm sure everyone knows, I'm a big fan of bzr. However, my  
complaints about hg have generally been addressed in the interim (i.e.  
I got it working ;) ). I suspect that at this point the two are fairly  
close to equivalent for our uses, so focusing on which one is easiest  
to get our repo into seems sane.
