And this is a problem, > not something to be praised. Oh dear. I didn't praise anything. I simply provided data about the popularity of Git and Mercurial within the community of independent Emacs developers, which indicates that Git is by far the most popular DVCS among these developers. That's a fact, like it or not. I didn't make any judgement as to whether this is good or bad, or even relevant at all. Do whatever you want with it.
