Did you try the size with different repositories? In my tests, git and
hg are very close in size, but git repos enlarge a lot when you don’t
repack + garbage collect regularly (and auto-gc does not cut it).

My test for that is a bit dated,[1] but rerunning it partially gave
similar results (a few months ago):

unversioned, centralized, “follow the canonical repo” tags? Something
like bookmarks which don’t follow your changes?

Or is there a central usability issue which disturbs you when using 
hg tags?

Best wishes,
Arne

     use it, it still feels as unfriendly as when I started comparing
     both, and I did not notice other big differences in regular use.
