Git and Mozilla

It looks like git is out of the race for hosting the Mozilla repository. It's going to be Bazaar or Mercurial.

And entirely over the one issue we all thought it was going to be: native win32 support. I guess nobody is surprised by that one bit.

This is probably a good thing; Bazaar and Mercurial are both more similar in model to git than SVN; so conversion between them and git will be far easier.
