I'm pretty addicted to git's lightweight branching now. Mercurial looks appealing in some ways but, from what I understand, it doesn't support anything similar,

  You are thinking of Bookmarks, which have been a part of core since 1.8 and was an extension included with mercurial for a few versions prior.

    Bookmarks mimic git's branches to some extent, but last time I tried they did not cope well with complicated merges.

  For heavier work, hg's patch queue's are unmatched. (not to mention you can version the patch queue as well!) If bookmarks are too lightweight for something (say you have an experimental branch that you want to branch on-top of) patch queues are amazing. Not to mention their ease of use!! http://hgbook.red-bean.com/read/managing-change-with-mercurial-queues.html http://hgbook.red-bean.com/read/managing-change-with-mercuri...
