A few years ago, when I made the decision, Git was the
version control system for people who wanted to micromanage
a version control system, and Mercurial was the one for
people who wanted to get work done instead.

To all the people who are going to reply saying Git is just
as easy to use as Mercurial: my understanding is that Git
has gotten to be about as easy to use as Mercurial,
but I've already got a system that works.  Thanks.
