There was a fairly even debate on the PHP development lists when the
move from SVN was being discussed. The final decision was that Hg was
the best choice technically ... but they went with git because it had
the loudest voice. Technically both have problems and it's about time
the advertising budget was taken out of the equation and the real
problems addressed? Neither properly support the type of projects that
PHP and many other scripted languages are based on, and adding secondary
repo's like hg-git and hgsubversion to the main project is probably a
good example of the current hole?
