And you don't know mercurial if you think that.

Both are great and powerful and both have pros/cons.

The problem with git on this is it is actually often sort of hard to find "the right" way to do things. This is in large part because of the popularity of git. There is so much content and a good deal disparate (e.g. Stack Overflow).

Mercurial on the other hand has far less content and it is maybe a little more consolidated and thus IMO slightly easier to find.

.... are you sure you are not trolling...
