Just a quick advise since we (OpenScales developers) have tested a lot 3 alternatives : Git, Mercurial or SVN : please test 3 solutions, don't make your choice based on other people feedbacks only !
Before testing both DVCS tools in detail, I was clearly in favor of Git. Github is widely used and sexy, big projects like Eclipse are moving on it, I was sure that this should be the right choice for us. Since we have Mercurial pushers, we decided to test both solutions with same developers on a sample project. At the beginning, it was difficult to admit but Mercurial was clearly the winner. Reasons for our choice : - Simplicity - Subversion users learning curve - Windows support - Eclipse integration quality (hgEclipse) - HTTP proxy compliance for push We also use used last release of SVN (1.6.9) but Git/Mercurial are a magnitude of order better.
