People don't internalize Git concepts as "natural", they get Stockholm Syndrome.
I'm not saying mercurial is better, but there's a reason I have to remind people that this[1] is satire - the real manuals are so convoluted that they seem like parodies of themselves.

- LaPingvino 4y agoThere are two reasons Git is better, and the UI is NOT one of them: speed and repository format. I think Keith Packard wrote about this best: Git is technically under the covers way superior over Hg, it's not even a competition. For usability, I think with Sapling we finally get some real competition and that might be the user interface alternative we need, as well as the monorepo approach it was basically made for, but let's just say that I don't trust people who think Mercurial is technically even close to a good idea.
