But I am quite happy with Subversion (SVN). What is all this fuss about? Is there a substantial trend for distributed versioning control systems (DVCS)?<\/li>\n
Isn’t DVCS something for small teams and startups? I am working in a very big company. We value established things way more than the cutting edge stuff, that may not be here to stay.<\/li>\n
Okay. Let’s say we go with DVCS. Why should I take git and not mercurial?<\/li>\n
I like, that git allows our developers to host the complete repository on his local machine. That makes software development faster. So why do<\/li>\n
you I need Stash on top?<\/li>\n
How do you use this rights management with Stash? How does it work? Will developers only get have a repository? Is that still functional then?<\/li>\n
What is a pull request? What is this for? Aren’t we sharing all code with all developers and let everyone do what he wants? Is that only for<\/li>\n

Do you ultimately plan to support Mercurial? When is a good time to buy Stash, if I run with hg at the moment?<\/li>\n
Why should I go for Stash in favor of GitHub Enterprise or RhodeCode?<\/li>\n
Why is Stash a separated product and not part of Bitbucket. I could imagine seeing Bitbucket Enterprise resembling GitHub Enterprise.<\/li>\n
Is Atlassian using Stash internally in software development? If not, why not?<\/li>\n
Wouldn’t it be interesting to combine Fisheye, Crucible and Stash in one product?<\/li>\n
