+1 for git/github.

Echoing what others have said, I think github is ultimately what makes git the most attractive, all things considered. Github makes it incredibly easy to fork and propose pushes. 

Google code seems to be better suited for smaller projects, even though google uses it for their even larger projects. For an open source project with outside contributors, it's essential to have a good "hub" - and github serves that purpose extremely well.

Just my 15 cents (inflation).

PS: I'm tempted to further splinter this debate by proposing Bazaar :) (with Ubuntu's launchpad)

A nice out of the box hosting option for Mercurial? I think I mentioned GoogleCode... or there are many options to choose:

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 :-)
