Sadly, I won't be able to attend the meeting, I have kiddos with soccer practice and some sort of school carnival thing tomorrow night. If I could come I'd probably try it with git, since I already know how to use mercurial to do all the things you listed (ok, I haven't done a cherry-pick yet, but I know the mercurial extension to do it exists). The more I learn about both tools, the more similar they sound. I think the group here at work chose mercurial over git because we write linux* and windows drivers for our products, and mercurial had better windoze support. Is that still true even?
