Git is mature and used by nearly all major OSS projects. Mercurial has this slow prototyping dependency of Python, which is annoying and could be removed that way. Of course git is still(?) adding a perl dependency. I hope this can be removed from git. Perl dependency in git is present only in no basic commands. You can remove it and the core system will follow working. More specifically, the parts that are perl scripts: /usr/bin/git-cvsserver /usr/lib/git-core/git-add--interactive /usr/lib/git-core/git-archimport /usr/lib/git-core/git-cvsexportcommit /usr/lib/git-core/git-cvsimport /usr/lib/git-core/git-cvsserver /usr/lib/git-core/git-difftool /usr/lib/git-core/git-instaweb /usr/lib/git-core/git-relink /usr/lib/git-core/git-send-email /usr/lib/git-core/git-svn Of these, git-add--interactive is the only one which has reasonable use not related to legacy systems (and actually one of Git's best features). (difftool, instaweb and relink are nice additions, but by no means essential. send-email probably can be replaced by using straight MTA injection.) I think moving to Git is a good idea. -- Christian Neukirchen chneukirc...@gmail.com http://chneukirchen.org

Git is lower level than hg, it exposes lower level concepts to the user (for instance the Staging Area). Sometimes that makes it confusing if you do not understand these concepts.

I know you're all being funny, but I just checked, and sure enough: the git source tree is bigger than the plan 9 kernel. It's *more* than an operating system.
