Don't miss "extensions" (but these are officials, include in core): - Bisec http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/BisectExtension - Graph log (show grah of the tree, "ascii art") http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/GraphlogExtension - Hgk (same above, but with tcl/tk, copy of git's one) http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/HgkExtension - Mq (wonderfull Hg version of "quilt', must have!) http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/MqExtension - Rebase (warning: available only to the next stable version) http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/RebaseExtension - Transplant ("transplant" patches from another branch or repositor) http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/TransplantExtension > The one feature of svn that we would miss is the inclusion of foreign version > controlled trees, like we do with the pylib tree.
