I know this has come up before, so I'll just add my "vote" to the mix.

Bzr support would be fantastic!

Hello,

Did you try the SVN client tool that is embedded in Oxygen? In what ways do you find Bazaar better than SVN?

Yep, I've used the SVN tool in Oxygen. It's pretty good.

Regarding BZR vs SVN, a short answer would be, BZR can do everything SVN can do and more. That means that BZR has the ability to please SVN loyalists as well as those interested in its unique features.

There are several well-written pages on the unique features that BZR brings to the table, most of which can be found on their excellent website.

However, if I had to list my top picks from BZR's features, they would be:

• I can commit while not connected to the Internet
• Its decentralized, which means I can maintain code across all of my own computers without the need for a central server or “master” repository (however, if it makes more sense to do it that way, you easily choose to)
• It has hierarchical history, which makes it infinitely easier for humans to read code history
• It has optional integration with Launchpad, which only is the coolest open source project hosting ever
