I think that's a bit overstated. From what I understand the primary
difference is the backend storage. Git stores an snapshot and Hg
stores a delta. Perhaps Mackall's design is better overall, but in
practice I'm not sure it makes a huge difference. I've read a number
of Git vs. Hg blogs and I see plenty of arguments going both ways.

The only reason I lean more toward Git is that it seems to the
momentum. I've had always been the kind of guy to go for the superior
tech, you know, but about a year ago I started to realize there's
value in going with the flow sometimes --which is why I switched my
project from Darcs to SVN actually. Ironic though, b/c soon thereafter
many started jumping from SVN to Git.

Anyhow, I don't think it's fair to call Git a fad. But I think Hg is
good choice too.
