bzrshelve, a punchline to a bad joke

Jump to Comments

The joke has been long coming.

Back when I was still on reddit, a short meme hit where someone wrote a little hack that made frontpage. The title is what must have sold it, as there wasn’t any there - there.

“Using Git as a versioned data store in Python” aka gitshelve.

A few days later, of course, hgshelve came into existence.

It’s telling that the Bazaar community never got into the action. I can imagine good arguments for both that scene being too small, or too busy getting work done.

Fortunately, I have no such issue. Behold: bzrshelve.

And the only DVCS that can get the source is svk.
