We all agreed to use git over svn, but to be honest, mercurial wasn't considered. I've used both as well. But in my short exposure, I really didn't see a difference. What makes git so attractive is that github.com explains so well how to use it.

I supposed we could consider mercurcial if there was a nice out of the box hosting option like github.com. If not, git will likely win because of that.

I have seen a reasonable amount of GIT, and have liked what I saw, as have most of the other core team who have spoken up on this issue.

Sell us Mercurial :-)
