28
Bazaar directly supports both central version control (like cvs/svn) and
29
distributed version control (like git/hg). Developers can organize their
30
workspace in whichever way they want on a per project basis including:
31
32
* checkouts (like svn)
33
* feature branches (like hg)
34
* shared working tree (like git).
35
36
It also directly supports and encourages a large number of development best
37
practices like refactoring and pre-commit regression testing. Users can
38
choose between our command line tool and our cross-platform GUI application.
