I'm slightly > nervous about the name-based repository layout though, as it's such a > horrible lose in the case of CVS That's actually one of the strong points of Mercurial. Because of the name based layout the directory traversal order is more efficient for filesystems with linear directory storage (like ext[2-4]) > I'm also slightly confused by the relationship between git and mercurial > -- can mercurial clone/pull/push from/to a git tree and vice-versa? There is a fast and incremental converter from git to Mercurial included with Mercurial for over a year now and the next release of Mercurial (expected in a few days) can export patches not only in the standard patch format, but in git's extended patch format which preserves copies/renames/executable-bit/binaries, too.
