Talking about the amount of work is not talking about differences ;)

I still wonder why the DSCM advocates ignore the possibility of own
branches for everybody interested. No need to publish anything: it is
published; core developers know if something is committed; things can be
easily reviewed; nothing commited can be lost due to central backups; etc.

We can talk about a DSCM if the active number of personal branches
exeeds a certain
number (10?, 20?) but currently it causes only pain. And yes, I really
feel pain about
completely meaning and useless output like "Updating a3bdad8..fad6345".

For a small project, I tried once mercurial and learned that it is much
more work. One easily gets lost with all those cloned repositories none
being naturally canonical. All not mentioning the pain of line feed
handling: it felt worse than cvs and git isn't better in this regard:
nothing does prevent users from committing and pushing a full diff due
to f.... up line feeds.
