<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Some time ago, I had to decide between git and hg for my personal projects. I opted to go with hg because I felt the docs were better (<a href="http://hgbook.red-bean.com/">http://hgbook.red-bean.com/</a>, for example) and the Windows support for hg was much better at the time (luckily, that's no longer an issue for me, as I'm not using Windows ATM :). For what it's worth, some people at my local JUG use git and have complained about the inconsistency between one command and another. I can neither confirm nor deny, as I've never used git in anger. I am, though, quite happy with Mercurial. Also, for what it's worth, it's my understanding that GlassFish (in addition to NetBeans, OpenJDK, etc) will be moving to hg at some point, so there are major projects on both systems.<div><br></div><div>With regard to hosting, I'm using kenai.com for Mojarra Scales and FacesTester, and I've been really happy with it. I get a nice wiki, hg (or git or svn or cvs), and JIRA. I realize there may be concerns with kenai of various sorts, so, if that's not an option, bitbucket.org is one option for hosting projects. The Mercurial maintains a fairly lengthy list here: <a href="http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/MercurialHosting">http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/MercurialHosting</a></div><div><br><div><div>On Nov 24, 2009, at 9:41 AM, Dan Allen wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">We all agreed to use git over svn, but to be honest, mercurial wasn't considered.
