For me it was biggest reason to > migrate from Hg to git. There are a few extensions that ought to be part of main hg, I have proposed rdiff and am still waiting to hear. Since hg depends a lot on extensions to extend it (good design), commnly used or useful extensions must be made part of mainstream at a steady pace. Otherwise, new users who are not aware of existence of various extensions will start comparing main hg with git. Since git has most of the features in the core part, hence the comparisons will be not apple to apple. -dhruva -- Contents reflect my personal views only!
