Re: SVN Access to Lua source and other assorted libraries

[Matt Campbell <mattcampbell@...>]

According to Daniel Silverstone, who has tried to set up a Bazaar 
repository for Lua, the Lua core team uses RCS.

I believe Mercurial is like git with regard to the way it handles 
rename/move/modify relations.  I mention this not to start another 
argument over distributed version control systems, but because 
Mercurial, like Bazaar, seems to be more Windows-friendly than git, and 
I thought that might be an important factor.

HTH,
