Mercurial Geek Night II

[Martin Geisler]

Hi everybody,

We will arrange a new Mercurial Geek Night next week -- please join if
you are in the Zurich area!

Abstract:

Are you curious about how you can improve your workflows with Mercurial?
In this Geek Night, Martin Geisler from aragost Trifork will introduce
you to Mercurial, a fast distributed version control system used by
large projects such as Firefox and OpenOffice. You will see first-hand
how Mercurial is much more light-weight and flexible than legacy systems
like CVS, Subversion, ClearCase, etc.

Following the introduction, Gonzalo Casas from isonet ag will describe
how and why they migrated 20 developers from Subversion to Mercurial.
You will learn how the robust support for merging in Mercurial makes it
feasible for them to manage long-term maintenance branches, while still
being able to easily create new branches for new features.
