After playing with hg and git for few days, I tend to agree with the emacs guys. It looks to me that any of them will do the job (as did svn). I don't really care which one will be selected by the community as long as we:
1. Don't spend months in deciding which one to choose.
2. Don't loose the nice integration o svn with our TRAC. Independent on how good/fast the dVCS is, the way svn integrate with trac is a real time saver. Tracking bugs, linking to revisions and to the wiki are really important features to me, and I think that whatever our decision will be we should not lose this.

They were back in the CVS stone ages, but their main contenders were
the same big three of distributed VCSs: git, hg and bzr.  The article
pulls out a couple of very good quotes from their discussion.  The one
that caught my eye was from Richard Stallman:

We already know the most important thing about what we will find from a careful study of git, mercurial and Bzr. We will find that each has its advantages and disadvantages -- but none of them conclusive. Each will be preferred by some people, but any one of them would work out
   well enough.
