It looks like a holly war topic about Mercurial vs Git

I like the last words from this article http://importantshock.wordpress.com/2008/08/07/git-vs-mercur...

"Shut up about the tools you use and write some code".

I don't understand why msysgit is always considered an obstacle to using Git on Windows. I suspect the author isn't aware that one of the options in the installer is to "use Git from the Windows command prompt," which adds the got executable to the system path. I use Git from Powershell almost daily, and it works fine.

I just think hg is better. It's simpler, it's still full featured, its pretty sweet.

In case folks are not aware, Bitbucket has a good free plan for hosting private Hg repos.

They also support git repos now as well. I like to use them for my private git repos.
