Needless to say bazaar-ng is currently far less mature, and some of
11
the advantages listed below don't work in the current pre-1.0 code.
12
But they are accounted for in the design.
14
TeamWare has file locking. Distributed systems can't easily support
15
file locking because you can't prevent people diverging. But perhaps
16
we can have scripts or a higher-level tool to communicate that changes
17
to a particular file are in train. (One possibility: there is a
18
development branch where that file has been changed, but not yet
19
checked in. Or if Bob can see Alice's work area, he can see that a
20
particular file has been fetched read/write.)
22
parent/child workspaces.

Advantages of bazaar-ng:
26
* Free / open source software
28
* Prior tree revisions are always exactly reproducible (atomic
31
* Can get whole-tree diff
33
* Versioned, mergeable renames.
