For me, scons is the ONLY project I work on that uses Mercurial, and having to translate each and every command is a real pain. I¹ve also NOT contributed back many changes I¹ve made to get Python to build properly on old UNIX systems, primarily because it was using Hg.
I doubt I¹m alone in this, and I¹m certain it¹s a lot easier to find a competent developer who knows Git but has never used Mercurial than the other way around. This is an extra effort for most developers, and that extra effort will get more common, and more painful as the years go by. IMHO switching to Git is a clear win.
