Mercurial shouldn't be considered a pre-git source control system. It's initial release date was actually 12 days after git and it is far more comparable to git than it is to SVN and other pre-git version control systems.

I think he meant "the source control they used before using git" - not that it came out first.

  But there really are people that purposefully went from git to hg. Calling hg a "pre-git" version control system makes some assumptions that just aren't true.
