Git and hg

The article is a technical comparison of the Git and Mercurial (hg) version control systems. The author, a developer, details his transition from being a Mercurial advocate to favoring Git. He acknowledges Git's historical usability and documentation shortcomings but argues its underlying power, Unix-like scripting capabilities, and the community's active efforts to improve it (especially post-version 1.5.0) make it the more promising system long-term.
