And here I was all set to migrate my projects to Github tonight. I think I'll stick around a bit longer and see what Atlassian can do to improve BitBucket.
On a side note, I paid my monthly subscription fee just a few days ago, but now everyone is on the same (basic, free) plan. Is that money just out the window?
"Because accounts with 5 or fewer users are free, we will be canceling your subscription and moving you to the free plan (you will be notified by PayPal that your Bitbucket account has been canceled)."
Not sure if that means you'll get your money back, though.
You won't, why should you? apart the fact that it probably costs them money to send them back, I for example am just happy that i don't have to pay from now on. Since I have only 2 private collaborators.
I initially decided on HG because I'm a Python developer, and a lot of other people in the Python community seem to recommend it (plus, HG is written in Python). Bitbucket had a free plan with a private repo, so I signed up. About the same time, my employer started migrating from Subversion to Git.
For me, the two features I miss most in HG are the staging area and cheap local branching. There plugins that give you rough equivalents, but I haven't used them and it's much nicer to have what you need out of the box.
Thanks for the tips! MQ and bookmarks look like they could be a solid fill-in for Gits staging area and cheap branching. I'll definitely look more into them.
