setting up a “bare” remote worked better for me:

remote$ git init –bare

However, git is blessed by Linus Torvalds, so I expect to see a lot more coming from git in terms of features, than the others. For what I’m doing, any of the VCS software would work fine- svn, git, bzr, hg, etc.

Probably good to create the remote repo as a bare repository with “git –bare init”, ala http://toolmantim.com/articles/setting_up_a_new_remote_git_repository, no?

Thinking of the advice of the git faq “A quick rule of thumb is to never push into a repository that has a work tree attached to it, until you know what you are doing.” (http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitFaq#head-b96f48bc9c925074be9f95c0fce69bcece5f6e73)

Gitorious is an alternative to GitHub and it can be installed anywhere so you don’t have to rely on any 3rd party hosting.

bzr is cool too, no doubt. However, git is blessed by Linus Torvalds, so I expect to see a lot more coming from git in terms of features, than the others.

Really, though. For what I’m doing, any of the VCS software would work fine- svn, git, bzr, hg, etc.

Except this means relying on a 3rd party do host and manage possibly very private data. As cool as many services are, I’d much rather keep this one in-house.

Then sign up for a Github account and use it!

Or optionally, do that first because it’ll give you everything you need for Github integration like this post tries to detail!

WHAT WHAT!?!? Join the adherents of the repeated meme; bzr is thy lord and saviour, Canonical is god, git is satan!
