Cool. I’ve lived in Kelowna my whole life. I don’t know of many other web developers who live around here… awesome.

Hey Adrian,

I’m living on the mountain at Big White, near Kelowna.

To be honest, I didn’t really experiment with other DVCSs. So the Git decision was mostly arbitrary.

The only real criteria was that it interfaced with SVN nicely, and it allowed me to commit/update/branch/rollback completely offline.

Also, switching branches within the same directory makes for easily switching branches on the web server, I believe (I could be wrong) bazaar branches by creating separate directories?

Nice!

One query – why Git? I’ve been trying to figure it out recently – ended up with Bazaar, but not sure if there’s a reason. Dunno if it’ll end up like Beta vs VHS kind of thing, as the different DVCSs don’t seem very portable, unless you’re using SVN to transition? Weird.
