Breezy is Free Software, and is released under the GNU General Public License,
23
Breezy is a friendly fork of the Bazaar (``bzr``) project, hosted on
24
http://bazaar.canonical.com/. It is backwards compatibility with
25
Bazaar's disk format and protocols.
31
Breezy directly supports both central version control (like cvs/svn) and
32
distributed version control (like git/hg). Developers can organize their
33
workspace in whichever way they want on a per project basis including:
35
* checkouts (like svn)
36
* feature branches (like hg)
37
* shared working tree (like git).
39
It also directly supports and encourages a large number of development best
40
practices like refactoring and pre-commit regression testing. Users can
41
choose between our command line tool and our cross-platform GUI application.
