I use mercurial for all my projects and I'm quite happy with it. But my
projects are one-man, small-scale projects, so I don't feel proficient
to comment on this.

When I was looking at distributed VCS's at the time, the main issue
people complained about in git was its lack for Windows support. Its
commands were also a bit complicated for my taste. In fact, among the
ones I've tried, I had found Darcs to be the simplest but I couldn't
find a Darcs hosting site.

 I'm doing some experiments and it looks easy to preserve the
 commit history of SVN.
 

I tried importing the commit history of IMDbPY into mercurial several
months ago and it seemed to run smoothly.

 PS: info about sourceforce support for mercurial:
   http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Mercurial#Access
 

I can't say why exactly at the moment but I remember that I didn't like
the facilities on SF in terms of hosting a mercurial repository.
Bitbucket seemed to me as the much better choice (I have a few projects
there) but I don't know if changing the repository hosting for IMDbPY
would make sense.

In short, I wouldn't prefer git but I could learn it if need be. Other
than that, between svn and mercurial, either way is fine with me.

It forces you to use the shell service (which you must book asking
to one of their admin) to create multiple repository - that we need
for imdbpykit and other sub-probjects.
Not a big deal, but...

Me too, and it's reassuring that we can bother Jesper, in case of
troubles. ;-)

I'll try to decide in the next days.

PS: in the next few days it's possible that there will also be a little
surprise for IMDbPY. :-)  Nothing major or too important, but...
