Source control of Quantlib external development

Hi,

Ive been trying to work out the best way of maintaining my changes to the QuantLib code. Some of these changes will never be made public for a variety of reasons but I still need to maintain a version control of these changes. Therefore, this version control will of necessity have to be outside Sourceforge.

The approach advocated by Subversion would be to do vendor drops into a local repository Ive done this before but I lose the version history and it makes it difficult to merge changes (both my changes and Sourceforge changes).

I see Bojan Nikolic has a blog where he talks about using Bazaar to do this - through the Launchpad service - but this appears to be currently suspended. I also see that Luigi has place a mirror of Quantlib trunk on github.com but this does not appear to have QuantLibAddin or Excel interfaces.

Can anyone give me some advice about which approach to take? Bazaar or Git (or some other technique).

Even if you just reply with one sentence telling me which approach you take that would be very useful.

Thanks,

Simon
