Commentary: "Why I Switched to Git From Mercurial"

[Diego Oliveira]

Let me say some words....

I think both tool are great. I started using git, it's nice, has great
features and so on,
the I sow mercurial. Its nice, friendly, and met my needs. I did some
research to adopt
a new vcs and selected Mercurial. The fact is that neither of them are
perfect. Git has
it "reindex" thing that just don't bought me, the command set is just huge
for an average
programmer that don't do a lot of source code control related thing, just
pull, commit, and push.

We have more then 40 projects under mercurial control, and I don't think to
change in a
near future.
