Mercurial.
I think this choice is very very bad. Almost no utility software
supports Mercurial which will not be very attractive to developers.
You've chosen a niece product which nearly zero support (excluding the
Mercurial developers themselves) in the open source community - which
may be a factor which was not taken into account in the original
evaluation.
