errrm, what’s a dcvs? :) If you mean a versioning system, we use git and love it! Personally I still need some help when I make an ass out of myself, but being able to develop offline and then push a big chunk of commits is really awesome

have to admit that I tried mercurial as well. it might be faster on windows, but it is missing

I use git for my projects also on the projects that I intent to contribute, they’re using git as well, but I don’t like the Linus’ attitude on it :P (like the one here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxkGKtVNdik)

Let me feed the troll: Why would there be one best? And why would the use of Qt matters when choosing the visioning system? (Or is your question: what is the dvcs that is best integrated in Creator?)

Trying out some quoting.

It looks like textile turned two ‘-’ into an em-dash.

I’ll have some words with textile, thanks!

Textile will behave now, the fix is in.

Personally I like Mercurial. Because it works better than Git on my Windows 7. And TortoiseHg is good too.

But for Qt apps, maybe Git is better choise. See gitorious [qt.gitorious.org] . :)

I like a lot subversion, because is very easy to set up your own server for personal user and the integration with QtCreator works very good as well

Git for me too. Before I used Subversion but switched to Git because it creates a full local copy of the repository and has much easier branch control.

I saw a blueprint about adding bzr support to Qt Creator over at the ubuntu web page. Check the Creator plugin page [developer.qt.nokia.com] for a link.

PS: Please update the page if anything needs updating or you know of a plugin that is missing there.

I use Git only because it seems to work slightly better than bzr, but I’m with Milot, I can’t stand Linus. One pro for me is, I’m seeing more repositories out there that support git, especially in the Ruby community.

I might give mercurial a try.

Subversion seems to be a great central repository. I sometimes have a central repo with svn and use git or bzr locally. There are pros and cons to this depending on which dvcs you use.

A lot of Qt projects (including Qt itself) are hosted on gitorious.org [gitorious.org], so I would say try git there first. It’s pretty simple even for people who don’t know anything about git.
This short FAQ should get you started: FAQ [gitorious.org]

I haven’t used any other DVCS then git. Using SVN after getting acquainted with git is like being a prisoner in Plato’s Cave [en.wikipedia.org] that is let out to gaze upon the sun then bundled back into the cave and chained to the wall again.

Git plug: A great reference site for git is git ready [gitready.com]
