"I have used Mercurial for over a year, and started using Git on Agila Sverige. I really like Git and I have therefore kept a draft blog post trying to capture why I like better than Mercurial. That draft was just deleted since I essentially share Dustin Sallings thoughts on the differences between Mercurial and Git. Apart from the Gnu Arch and Darcs parts - what he said."

"I’ve been using distributed version control for over a year now, and if it is up to me, I will never use a centralized VCS again. When I evaluated the alternatives last year, I choose Mercurial as the DVCS we are using at WeMind. The reasons were: Usability - git was quite obscure back then Speed - bazaar and monotone was quite slow Large enough uptake - OpenSolaris and Mozilla started using Mercurial at the same time."

"I am currently on my way home from northern Dalecarlia, and I am making full use of the 3G card. I had received a couple of update mails from our central Mercurial repo, so I tried to do an ‘hg pull’, and expected it to take a while. Lo and behold, I got all changesets within 15 seconds! This says a lot about Mercurials protocol, as the reception was so-so; no surprise as we are driving here:"

"Paul Duncan is another Mercurial convert, and explains his choice of VCS very well"

"I am starting a new development project where I will do a lot of coding myself, at least initially. There will most probably be times when I have to work offline - perhaps a litte evening coding while at vacation with my family, definitely the days when I am home because the kids cannot be at kindergarten. So I had this initial thought - can I make a offline copy of the Subversion repository, make changes to it and merge it back when I come online again?"
