been a while since i used it but best i recall Mercurially was a very close competitor to git, but in many cases had arguably better commands for accomplishing the tasks. That is to say, less memorization of archaic patterns and more "oh that makes sense". Git has gotten a lot better in this area since then. Git stash however, is one place where it's just crap. `git stash apply stash@{3}` ?!?!? No. omg no. Sure, for "hey it works" but not for "hey let's have this be the standard interface that we give to everyone and never improve" After all these years we still can't say `git stash apply 3` ??? really? also git stash is wildly divergent in terms of conventions relative to all the other commands.
