At the bottom of the page, "similar projects".

* Git deserves a capital to its name if others do ;-).

* http://git-scm.com/ doesn't have a www. in front.

* I'd rephrase this to make it clear that Mercurial is much closer to
  Bzr and Git than to CVS and SVN. Like

  Similar projects include Git and Bazaar, and other version control
  systems without a distributed architecture include Subversion and
  CVS.

  ("distributed architecture" may seem too technical for newcommers,
  but that's the first heading in the same page, so it can be
  acceptable)
