code.google.com allows for both subversion and hg (mercurial), while
github allows for hosting in a git repo.
The nice thing, though, is that you can use subversion as your master
repository, and there are plugins from both mercurial and git to allow
you to treat the SVN repo as if it were simply a master git or hg
repository. So locally you work in hg or git, and you push changes
back which get rolled into SVN commits. This way others can use svn,
but whoever wants to can use DVCS. Of course, that only works if
you're using the traditional centralized workflow... but that's pretty
typical... especially for migrated repositories.

Christian.

Nice find !
Yes they are both excellent. I assume hg is as easy to get going with
as git when you first install it? If so - go with either, you wont be
disappointed.
For me, the killer feature was github - as I am lazy - and it kind of
holds my hand on how to do things (or did initially). I am sure there
are alternatives for hg as well.

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.
