The most interesting takeaway from me is that Mercurial is planning to support "narrow clones" soon, i.e. sparse fetches (i.e. you only have to download some subtree of the whole repository). It would be great if Git followed suit at some point - the whole monolithic versus project-based repository debate would be a lot more interesting if it were just a matter of convention, as opposed to the former being associated with "ew, SVN/Perforce/[insert old fashioned feeling tool]".
