Some of these are:

* Must preserve existing history from CVS; must be able to export back
 
14
  out to CVS in case they change their mind.
 
15
 
 
16
* Support a single central blessed version.
 
17
 
 
18
* Cheap branches and tagging.
 
19
 
 
20
* Handle repeated merges; remember the last time something was merged.
 
21
 
 
22
* Easy cloning.
 
23
 
 
24
* Copy a named patch set (one or more changes) onto a particular
 
25
  branch.
 
26
 
 
27
* Unix, Windows, Mac.
 
28

* What patches changed a particular symbol?
 
30
 
 
31
* annotate function that shows deleted lines.
 
32
 
 
33
* Reliable backups.  (bzr can do this simply by cloning, then
 
34
  mirror-sync.)
 
35
 
 
36
* Scale to enormously wide and long history.
 
37
