I think that zuzuf can confirm that, svn is such a pain when merging. It does not support local commit neither. We have the same issue with yuni (even more actually) and I am looking for an alternative. Git seems to be a good choice, but unusable under Windows and far from easy to use.
Bazaar seems to be more user friendly with a similiar syntax to subversion. It allows local commits (to work offline - for zuzuf in the train for example ^^) and have better merging/renamming support.
I will make a testing repository for yuni (to not pollute sources), to test it for real. Is Ta3d interrested in the same thing ?

Could bazaar use svn's log?
Yes then just bold try.

local commits is very interesting :D

PS: due to what happened with my train yesterday, I took my car to travel to Paris and guess what, it was just faster than the train :P so except under torture I won't take the train again :twisted:

So local commits won't be necessary to you from now :D

I may not always have a DSL connection during holidays :mrgreen:
And it can be useful to have a few local commits before doing a remote one just to make sure we don't break too much things when working on large parts of the code :)

All following posts have been moved into another topic. It would be better for occasional readers.

Also consider git (its website seems to be down atm, so I'm linking to Wikipedia). It definitely has more momentum than Bazaar and is used for some major projects like Linux, wine, Xorg. A big plus is that you can keep a local git repo which is synced with a SVN repository using git-svn, so you use most of the stuff that makes git good, but you don't have to migrate all your code repositories until you want to.

Already considered. But unusable under Windows and more complicated (even if I agre bazaar still need improvements as weel about its gui).
I used it at home on a multiplatform project as weel and it was a real nightmare :(
