I don't know how to use git. At all.

I use mercurial with hg-git. I am comfortable with my workflow, it
integrates well with github and I forget I am using git in the very deep
backend. For me it is a mercurial experience.

In my opinion hg-git should get more care. It frequently breaks when
mercurial is updated. You better have a virtualenv with an explicit
mercurial version supported with hg-git.

My private repositories are ALL mercurial (I try to avoid github,
personal/political reasons) and when I interact with big mercurial
projects I am really happy. For instance...

Oh, shit, Hatari just switched to GIT a month ago!
<http://hatari.tuxfamily.org/download.html>. God just killed a kitty!.

I think that mercurial is far easier than git and its fundamentals are
more sound (immutable history). If only "evolve" would be finished and
deployed... That would be a quite fundamental improvement well over what
git can do today.

Life sucks but I love mercurial. While it can interact with git
repositories (via addon), performance is good and features are on par or
better (Evolve, you can't come fast enough!), I will stick with it. They
will take my mercurial from my dead cold fingers :).
