As a programmer of scientific algorithm for data processing, I choose hg
when I have the choice and git when I haven't the choice. 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, François
