I think this site goes a long way towards explaining things. http://gitvsmercurial.com/ http://gitvsmercurial.com/

  I think for picking one that is fair, but I'd enjoy a good breakdown on how to think about each on their own so I don't try to use git like hg or vice versa.

    I use both, so obviously I enjoy a good breakdown as well(often switching between the 2 several times a day). And yeah, don't use hg like git and dont use git like hg unless you want pain. But the author of this post comes off as an annoying zealot. So it is helpful to "keep it real" by recognizing that they are both tools, so in the end as the site says "who the fuck cares?", and master debators blog posts about the supposed "better" or "worse" is just stupid. The information is good, this authors choice of delivery is annoying. The "vc tool war" if there ever was one was centralized vs distributed, and we the developers won, now let's all go build something awesome.
