I found it hilarious. You must be one of those people that will die by your DVCS. They interop now too, thanks to the github guys.

#4I love what Guido had to say about this when choosing a DCVS for Python:
It's hard to explain my reasons for choosing -- like most language decisions (especially the difficult ones) it's mostly a matter of gut feelings. One thing I know is that it's better to decide now than to spend another year discussing the pros and cons.

Re: Git vs. Mercurial
#6While I agree with this point of view more than the one that causes the pointless unproductive flamewars we've seen far too much of, one doesn't always have the choice of using what one likes. If you're comfortable with Git tools/workflow, and a project that you'd like to join the development of is using Mercurial (or vice-versa), that creates a slightly higher barrier of entry. Even given tools to allow a large degree of interoperability, you'll still (so far) be referring to commits by different ids and such.
Sure, it's minor, but it's not entirely dismissable.

#7I don't know much about this and I was actually looking forward to the analysis just out of curiosity. Too bad 8/

Though I love much of the work done by the Github team, I feel I should note that what they've done (so far) only allows interoperability between a Git server and Mercurial client. Unfortunately there's no commercial pressure on them to provide a tool that works in reverse, because being very comfortable with git, I'd like to be able to use it with repositories hosted (for example) on Google Code, which uses hg. Ah, well. The advantage of it all being open-source is that it'll probably happen one day. Heh. I wonder how difficult that would be...

Doh - I think it's my comment you replied to. I deleted it because I was just whining and flagged the submission instead.
For the record, I said the link wasn't worth the energy to click on.
It has nothing to do with my choice in source control, since I use subversion. I just think this kind of content-free crap belongs on reddit, not here.
