Is there any concrete plan to add mercurial support to depot_tools? It sounds like the kind of thing that will not happen until someone needs it. But if no one switches to mercurial then there will never be a need. So unless there is a reasonable target date set for this support, I think we should go ahead and switch in order to create that need.
Anyway, it seems like it should not be that hard to add mercurial support. http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/tools/depot_tools/scm.py Looks like git is already supported, and it only took a couple hundred lines of code (which look to be mostly comments). It will be at least a month or two before we do another release so you have some time. :) (When we switch, the existing SVN repo will stick around but will cease to be updated.)
