That may be, but my argument is that there are far more of the former
kind of people than the latter. Since they've already picked up git,
why make them pick something else up?
I believe ease of use is most important. Vim is currently on mercurial;
so consider those newcomers to vim source. What percentage use git, if
it's less than 50% that would suggest mercurial. And going from merc to
git is additional hassle for current vim source users; though some of
them would welcome the change and over time be less hassled.
