Hi,
If you choose git. I suggest to use http://github.com to host a "central"
version :
* provide documentation for newbee (step by step to create your project,...)
* an interesting feature :
** "committers" could easily work on branch
** non-committers could easily fork project in there own space and propose
patch/branch,...
* ...
Than using git or mercurial on sourceforge.
One year ago, I request the List project to move from subversion (hosted by
google) to DVCS (I used mercurial at work (choose by me 1.5 years ago)),
without success but after a discussion and an overview of github the lead
start learning git an move the project to github.
I use mercurial day to day at office and git/github for my oss project.
IMHO : the main difference are :
* mercurial works on Windows (easily)
* git manage named branches (at office we decided to use 2 mercurial
repositories to manage project (wip and release) instead of 2 branches,
because working with branches in mercurial is more error prone)
second level differences :
* git allow you to keep changes from an other repository without required
that your repository is full commited (no pending changes). mercurial need
extension to provide similar job
* git could compress/strip history
my 2cents (I'm not a CEDET nor emacs contributor)
note : on github, projects are not group by "projects" but by owner, eg: my
own http://github.com/davidB
