Mind a vote against mercurial, and for GIT? Not because I think GIT is necesarily (and at the moment) better -- I in fact don't know either yet in any detail. GIT is the kernel SCM though and unless it's really significantly worse, I believe it's better to simply use it. I've been looking to get into ALSA a bit for example, and I'd really not appreciate having to learn yet another SCM when I'm going to be making use of GIT for all the other kernel stuff anyway. GIT is also still picking up speed. Keith Packard was even converting X CVS for example. Mercurial might be good I guess, but it's also very likely going to be one of those "oh no, not yet another" ones, maybe even keeping potential developers away.
