I use mercurial for all my projects and I'm quite happy with it. But my projects are one-man, small-scale projects, so I don't feel proficient to comment on this. When I was looking at distributed VCS's at the time, the main issue people complained about in git was its lack for Windows support. Its commands were also a bit complicated for my taste. In fact, among the ones I've tried, I had found Darcs to be the simplest but I couldn't find a Darcs hosting site. > I'm doing some experiments and it looks easy to preserve the > commit history of SVN. > I tried importing the commit history of IMDbPY into mercurial several months ago and it seemed to run smoothly. > PS: info about sourceforce support for mercurial: > http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Mercurial#Access > I can't say why exactly at the moment but I remember that I didn't like the facilities on SF in terms of hosting a mercurial repository. Bitbucket seemed to me as the much better choice (I have a few projects there) but I don't know if changing the repository hosting for IMDbPY would make sense. In short, I wouldn't prefer git but I could learn it if need be. Other than that, between svn and mercurial, either way is fine with me. -- H.
