But I am just a user of hg, git and emacs. My resume of all the posts I have read is that git and hg are technically equivalent. Hg is cleaner, easier with better doc and ui with a bigger respect of history. And git is popular... But if they are technically equivalent, then git is not popular for technical reasons. So why git is more popular if it is not for technical reasons, neither for it's doc, it's ui or whatever you want ? The second good point for git I have see is that developer will not have to learn another tools. With such argument I'm asking myself why I have learn emacs, python and numpy... Finnally there is magit and I must admit that magit make me use git with less anxiety about my work :) Regards, Fran=C3=A7ois --=20 IAP, CNRS-UPMC - Paris, France +33 1 73 77 55 11 http://research.orieux.fr
