True. Having two options instead of one is always good.
Today I read some (most?) documents on the project's site, and I see
that it's very similar, but on the flip side it looks like interactive
rebases are not as easy as they are with git, and I really use them a
lot (I write several features and test them all together, so I often
squash my fixes in the original commit before pushing).
Also, I don't like much the data model (which is why, I think, changing
the whole history is not as easy as with git).
Thank you none the less, it was interesting reading.
