With github I have one problem: As far as I can see a tree is always owned by a user not by a group of users. Tis makes it, for me as a user, hard to identify the mainline. There seem to be some projects (I found MaNGOS as an example http://github.com/mangos) where a user named like the project exists so either thats again a single person or they share the password. As a comparison (not that I like bzr more than git, but ...) on launchpad there are the users, like me https://launchpad.net/~johannes-s who are member of groups, like "MySQL Developers" https://launchpad.net/~mysql who can own projects and branches while everybody in that group has some rights on that project/branch (I never looked at the different rights there are in detail) johannes
