For the record, the Pidgin project has been complaining about mid-air
collisions in trac recently. This is fed, I believe, by our heavy use
of the Trac 'timeline' and ticket announcements via an RSS feed to
IRC; tickets tend to get nearly instantaneous eyeball time from a
number of developers, and short almost-real-time conversations
occasionally spring up in the bug comments.
I am led to wonder, however, how much distributed revision control
would help this, versus simply a different model for bug comments.
Either way, I find DisTract interesting and am looking forward to
following its progress.
