I've had the opposite experience: There are scenarios where Git reverts some changes unexpectedly and almost silently, if you don't take care. In contrast, Mercurial's strict "every merge is an explicit commit" principle saved me from a lot of problems. Regarding the command line interface: Darcs has still the best one. Well, Darcs has some performance issues, but its interactive dialog-based command line interface is outstanding. It is years old, but neither Mecurial nor Git come even close to it. So if you have a small project or a fast computer, you should definitely have a look at Darcs in addition to Mercurial and Git.
