There's an Mercurial plug-in for Eclipse, too (http://www.vectrace.com/

stored in Mercurial (remember Tor talking about this extensively on a
podcast), whereas the Eclipse guys decided to offer git as the
standard distributed version control system to Eclipse projects, in
addition to CVS and SVN.
Yes, this is because after much research most of the Sun opensource projects
moved to Mercurial, including the JDK itself.
The unfortunate part is that git seems to be much more used than
Mercurial on the whole and NetBeans' support for git is not in line with
its Mercurial support -- leaving NetBeans playing second fiddle for
manyu users in this regard.
Overall it seems like Mercurial was selected over git based on
short-term criteria.
