[Sparkle] LaunchPad + Bazaar vs. Lighthouse + Git[Hub]

I think that is the most important disadvantage of bazaar and should
be weighted reasonably heavily. The momentum behind git at the moment
is significant and if I was a betting man I would put my money on git
being the dominant DVCS product going forward.

I will also just echo the other point coming from people, I have found
git to be a very natural workflow and not complicated at all once I
started actually using it in anger.
