Google Code Blog: Mercurial support for Project Hosting on Google Code

http://google-code-updates.blogspot.com/2009/04/mercurial-support-for-project-hosting.html

======
We are happy to announce that Project Hosting on Google Code now 
supports the Mercurial version control system in addition to Subversion. 
This is being initially rolled out as a preview release to a few invited 
users on a per-project basis, so that we can iron out the kinks before 
making this available to the general public.
======

======
While there were several DVCSs that we could support, our decision to 
support Mercurial was based on two key reasons. The primary reason was 
to support our large base of existing Subversion users that want to use 
a distributed version control system. For these users we felt that 
Mercurial had the lowest barrier to adoption because of its similar 
command set, great documentation (including a great online book), and 
excellent tools such as Tortoise Hg. Second, given that Google Code's 
infrastructure is built for HTTP-based services, we found that Mercurial 
had the best protocol and performance characteristics for HTTP support. 
For more information, see our analysis.

(on a different note, Python recently decided to move to Mercurial)
