Bzr is a generic distributed VCS, > roughly equivalent to git. Well, my point is "lack of a userbase", "availability of clients on different platforms", "integration in IDEs", "VCS providers offering it" So far, I have never tripped over a major project which is actively using bzr nor have I ever met a user using it :) Or differently: Don't underestimate the "familiarity factor" when launching a new archive. More generally speaking, I'd claim, nowadays, * older projects with a long history tend to use CVS (with a strong tendency to switch to SVN), * most projects dating back several years use SVN, * many newer (often Linux focused) projects use git. * mercurial is on the loose * bzr never made it out of its niche The big question however is: What are the OP's use-cases.
