I'd like to know too :)  Too be honest it seems like git seems to get
all the hype and fanfare where I work.  Granted most of those people
do some sort of kernel development work.  But then Git is also being
pushed into other non-kernel related work.

Just curious on why someone would chose Mercurial over Git and vice versa.

Personally, I like that Mercurial is written in Python and so I feel
like I might be able to more easily try to debug problems with it than
in Git.
