> In a decade of using Mercurial > I never really used git all that much Does not sound like a fair comparison ;)

  It's a valid comparison for his point that Mercurial is much more reliable for his workflows than git.

    I have used git a lot, and rarely, if ever, get it into a confused state. I have used Mercurial less, and I have found it easy to get things tangled up without a clear way out. It kinda sounds like the system you know best, is the one you can handle better regardless of whether it's git or Mercurial.

    > It's a valid comparison for his point that Mercurial is much more reliable for his workflows than git To me it reads as a warning that Mercurial repos are prone to being screwed up even if the user has over a decade of experience avoiding Mercurial's traps while with Git only bold inexperienced users can screw up repos in a similar matter.

    A decade's worth of experience vs beginner-level experience could explain the issue. Not saying it does, just that it could.
