Hi Gang,
I'm in an "Interesting" position.

I'm  about  to  start  a  new  role where I'm going to get to make the
technology decisions for the future team.

Right  now, the existing source control system is SVN, and for various
political  reasons,  I  don't think it would be a good idea to make an
IMMEDIATE  jump to Hg or GIT - but as I will be working remote a large
percentage of the time, having a DSCS is a big deal for me

My plan is to either use Hg-SVN or GIT-SVN

Here is my problem - deciding which

It  has  been  a long time since I've used Hg-SVN, and I've never used
GIT-SVN.

I prefer Hg to Git, (fits the way I work better) BUT, and it is a huge
but, with Microsoft's support of Git inside Visual Studio 2013 and
later  (and  TFS - which I don't love) there are some strong points to
be made for Git (basically, making it easier/Microsoft's 'support')

Anyone  on  the  group  have experience with both?  Pros/cons.  One of
those times where I have to look at a bigger picture than just which I
like  better (Hg) and have to look at "which is better for the company
in the long run"
