[Therion] Version Control Systems and Therion

[Ladislav Blazek]

Personally I am using bazaar. I think it is more question of if you need 
centralized only or decentralized solution (with possibility to have 
central place for "stable" branch). Main advantage of bazaar over 
subversion is that people can have theirs own local "devel" branches 
locally placed on laptops and can commit changes offline. For main data 
repository FTP server can be used = no special needs on server side. 
There is multiplatform GUI for bazaar - Olive.
