I'm in much the same position ... for a much longer time. I first had
the hassle of github when one of my major code sources just switched
with little discussion. Even today I think it was totally the wrong
choice but it's now history. At that time there were no cross platform
GUI tools for git and little support in things like Eclipse, so I
started using TortoiseHg and while it's got it's holes when working with
Git, SVN and CVS, in general it just works for what I want to do.

In my setup, the first thing I have to do is load up hg-git and even on
a distribution such as SUSE13.x this can be fun.
https://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/thg/issues/4277/just-fail-on-open-repo-created-in
has just appeared again and I'm not sure why :( SO I would like to see
hg-git cleanly bundled along with hgsubversion!

Yep - packages on suse are out of date with the main mercurial package
:( Working again ...
