Good summary. I actually ended up using the Mercurial documentation to learn how to use bzr and git because its so much better, and they all have the same basic features and operations. If you need to install one of them on, say, a redhat 8 system (don't ask), git is the only one that will work. Being written in plain old C has its advantages.
