Try it and let us know. You can download the binaries at bitkeeper.org and then clone the repo like so:

    $ bk clone http://bkbits.net/u/bk/bugfix/
type make and you should have a working BK built from source.

Are you aware of any hosting solutions that support BK as-is? eg something like Gogs or similar

Asking due to looking for a Gogs/GitLab (like) server side solution for a project under development. However, it needs to handle binary data well, which Git-based solutions don't.

We've got a very primitive hosting service up at bkbits.net. One of the ways we hope to survive is to evolve that into something closer to Github.

I really hope that takes off -- I'm interested in something that like Git but which actually makes sense without costing lots of neurons to understand how to use it in practice.

Interesting. Looking for the source of that, is this it?

Consider using Git LFS for binary data, our GitLab.com supports it up to 10GB per project, self hosted installations are limited only by the disk volume.

Yeah, it's a possibility. Just hoping for something better. :)
