Yes, but the Bazaar advocates appear to have a hard time convincing the
other existing DVCS users that it provides *enough* access to the
underlying graph. So it then tends to get resisted by the folks that are
already fans of git or Mercurial.

Like I said though, this is a subjective impression formed by reading
what other people have written rather than by actually experiencing any
of the tools myself. I'm sure all of them are quite capable of getting
the job done :)

Cheers,
Nick.
