It doesn't seems very fair to discard something just because you have

say it works well).
I've started. I'll give you a full report tomorrow when I have
tested it more completely.
Thanks, your report is excellent.
Okay, here goes. For those who don't want to read the whole text,
here's the short version:
- Git has one nice feature that Mercurial doesn't have yet, and that's
the staging area;
- Git isn't ready for production use on Windows. If you want to use it,
go ahead but don't go crying if something goes wrong (the details are in
the "Status" section below);
The msysgit home page reinforces that impression
(http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/):
"Once you installed msysGit, git will be compiled and the repository
will be fetched, so you are good to go. Play with git a little, and you
will find plenty of stuff that is not quite optimal."
Nonetheless, it's come a very long in the past year or so, and it sounds
as though in another six months or so, there may not be much to complain
about.
