DVCS Battle Heats Up - Bitbucket Joins Atlassian
Atlassian announced their acquisition of BitBucket today, in the process placing a large bet on Mercurial as a viable player in the DVCS space. In my opinion, Mercurial is a great alternative to Git, with similar functionality and performance for 1/10 the learning headache, particularly for developers coming from SVN. I think this is a wise move by Atlassian and allows them to compete head on with GitHub. Keep using that $60M from Accel wisely, Atlassian.
