Distributed Version Control

Apparently, git has not actually "won" yet. After my experiences with
git, I'm definitely open to something else. Are there decent graphical
clients for Mercurial? --wm

Python decides to use Mercurial

Wm,

I'm fairly new to git myself. Both git and mercurial are distributed
vcs's - what are the perceived advantages of mercurial over git? Is
it git or is the issue more with distributed vcs in general? If it's
the latter then mercurial would have the same issues, wouldn't it?

After reading the link you posted above, it wasn't clear to my why
they chose mercurial over git. It seems more like they chose
mercurial because it's written in Python.

I use Bazaar by choice. It's not as fast as Git but I've found it a
lot more user-friendly. In particular, you don't need to pass command-
line options to make Bazaar do the things you do most often (commit,
revert, update).
