I find Hg to be all-around easier and more "ergonomic" than git; git is a German automobile -- efficient, tightly-designed but with few amenities for the user (i.e., NO affordances for options short-cuts or best guesses when you mis-type, "Vat? Doesn't EVERYONE vant straight edges on everysing? You vill conform YOURSELF to ze tool!") while Hg is a high-end hand-built British luxury car (fits you like a glove, prone to occasional break-downs and maybe slightly less technically savvy than the Germans). However, few folks seem to know about Bitbucket and the community is necessarily smaller because of such, so I tend to use Hg-Git (http://hg-git.github.com/) to sync my Hg repos with Github. Plus, there's no Gists-like functionality on Bb (at least not yet -- https://bitbucket.org/site/master/issue/516/mercurial-backed-pastebin-bb-672). That's my $.02. -- -Doug ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
