Having worked with multiple Mercurial repositories managed by a custom tool which is now also being converted to Git, I can confirm that the smart choice for a new developer is to choose Git.
It’s no longer “Choose Git or Mercurial?” that is the topic, but instead it is which Git branching model to choose.

- sharken 6y agoFor the usual VCS operations such as adding files, committing and pushing i’d say they are quite similar. If you’re doing really complicated merges (which you should avoid anyway), then yes Mercurial is better in my opinion. But given the prevalence of Git, e.g. it is much easier to find a new dev with Git experience and also much easier to Google a Git problem, it seems only natural that more and more Mercurial repos will be converted to Git.
