For me it's foremost a matter of familiarity. I know the Mercurial commands 
well enough if I need e.g. to find out what was changed by whom. With git, I 
need to look up conversion tables on the internet. I should eventually invest 
the time in learning git properly but until then I use hg when I have a choice.

As for my previous statement that there's no hg-git package for MacPorts; this 
may have been the case some years ago but there's py-hggit now.

I don't disagree.
