-	~~#REDIRECT~~ [[wikipedia::Mercurial_(software)]]	+	[[wikipedia::Mercurial_(software)\|Mercurial]] (also known as [[Hg]]) is a distributed versioning system.
		+
		+	=== Question ===
		+
		+	There are a couple of guys in the team that I am currently working in who
		+	would like to switch from [[Subversion]] to [[Mercurial]]. Since you have been through
		+	that already, I was wondering if you could give me some feedback on how it
		+	went. Did the migration go well, did you have any major disruptions, ... ?
		+	Any practical hints are greatly appreciated.
		+
		+	=== Answer ===
		+
		+	I am really glad we switched to [[Hg]]. Distributed systems are really great.
		+	However the transition period was not easy. While [[Subversion]]] is for [[clueless]]
		+	developers, in the [[Hg]] world people have to think. And that is slightly
		+	unnatural for some of [[Chapter 1\|these days programmers]]. One set of notes describing the issues can for
		+	example be found at [[Mercurial_vs._Subversion]] page.
		+
		+	For a while people were complaining and making mistakes. But slowly most of
		+	them got over the problems and learned at least the basic commands to use [[Hg]].
		+	At that time I decided to make them more effective and we implemented
		+	[[netbeans:HgParallelProjectIntegration]].
		+
		+	This [[teamwork\|workflow]] really uses the power of distributed versioning system. You can
		+	have a pyramid of repositories and builders and on each level you can ensure
		+	the commit breaks nothing essential. Mistakes done by individual developers
		+	are isolated and make little harm (in contrast to previous model when each
		+	error means to everyone: "stop the world" and fix it). I am really proud of
		+	this workflow, but my co-workers hated me for at least six months. Of course, I
		+	was really bad, I forced them to think a bit about [[Hg]], while they wanted to
		+	code.
		+
		+	These days the hate is mostly gone. [[Hg]] and [[[netbeans:HgParallelProjectIntegration\|parallel integration]] really makes
		+	us more productive. Once you get used to it, it is almost natural (throw
		+	some sarcastic comments in [[Talk:Mercurial\|here]]). Definitely more natural than following
		+	practice of our new co-workers:
		+
		+	{{#ev:youtube\|fVc_VPMsj7A}}
		+
		+	So my advice is clear: Use [[Hg]] you will not have to learn to sing!
