Really? I thought Mercurial's alleged simplicity (such as it is -- I couldn't understand it when I tried it) was achieved by its being *less* flexible than Git and so having fewer options to deal with. > or if you want to be > really cutting edge, look at Fossil (http://fossil-scm.org). How is Fossil cutting-edge? It just looks like "DVCS for dummies", or like a project-management system (with wiki and tracker) that decided to implement its own VCS. I tend to think any DVCS whose stated goal is to avoid excessive branching is missing the point. > Check out www.hginit.com for a very good "from SVN to Mercurial" > blog/tutorial - but the principles are very similar for Git.
