I didn't, the Hg dev simply used Facebook as a very large, well known software shop that uses Mercurial. We could swap out "Facebook" for "Mozilla" or "Nginx Inc." or a number of open source (either community or corporate backed) projects.
- awinder 9y agoWe could do the same thing with Git though, so clearly source control scheme is not strongly correlated with actual success of the project -- which makes sense.
- stephenr 9y agoThat wasn't the point of the comment. The point was that there are a lot of git "wrappers" created to solve the problem of Git's usability. The same doesn't happen with Mercurial, and it isn't just because of a lack of use, as demonstrated by X, Y, Z prominent/large software companies/projects using it.
