I didn't expect the trolling conditions to be so good tonight. ;-D However, you'll notice quite a number of rants within our circles on G+ (and at large) from people that used hg for a long time and haven't looked back since switching to git. The opposite is rare to non-existent. In the end, I don't think it's deeply important either way, but a lot of our "peer" projects have recently switched for technical reasons and it's potentially fewer tools to install/systems to remember. Oh, and the git emacs support is so much better. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
