TortoiseGit, TortoiseBzr, TortoiseHg. Are any solid enough to switch from TortoiseSVN? [closed]

Answer 1

I really just wanted to add a comment to suggestions about TortoiseHG, but the comments are closed,

How to add the ppa repository on linux (replace oneiric by your version):

1. Add the following entries to package manager:

   deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tortoisehg-ppa/releases/ubuntu oneiric main 
   deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/tortoisehg-ppa/releases/ubuntu oneiric main 
   

2. Add the following entries to package manager:

   deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mercurial-ppa/releases/ubuntu oneiric main 
   deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/mercurial-ppa/releases/ubuntu oneiric main
   

   IMPORTANT: As current TortoiseHg versions often require a newer version of Mercurial itself than Ubuntu itself supplies, you will also need to add this PPA.

3. To configure APT to trust this repository's signing key, run:

   sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key 323293EE
   

4. If you had older versions intalled, you want to remove them first.

   sudo apt-get --purge remove mercurial
   sudo apt-get --purge remove tortoisehg
   

5. Step

   sudo apt-get install mercurial
   sudo apt-get install tortoisehg
