[seam-dev] [weld-dev] Mercurial vs GIT

[Dan Allen]

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.comexplains 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.
