* Cheap local branching
Available in Mercurial with the LocalbranchExtension.
* Git is fast
Probably true on Linux, not so on Windows. The speed is acceptable
for most operations, but it is slower than Mercurial.
* Staging area
Could actually be seen as a drawback since it adds extra complexity.
Depending on your workflow, most of the use cases can be handled
more easily in Mercurial with the crecord extension.
* GitHub
Bitbucket.
* Easy to learn
Mouahahahahahahah!
The other points are true, but they are also applicable to any DVCS.
