I'd like to know too :) Too be honest it seems like git seems to get
all the hype and fanfare where I work. Granted most of those people
do some sort of kernel development work. But then Git is also being
pushed into other non-kernel related work.
Just curious on why someone would chose Mercurial over Git and vice versa.
Personally, I like that Mercurial is written in Python and so I feel
like I might be able to more easily try to debug problems with it than
in Git.
