> The Mercurial CLI has clear, well named commands that are predictable and easy to memorize. Precisely this. I've been stuck using git since 2010 and to this day I have a large git-cheatsheet doc which I need to reference any time I need to do anything beyond the daily add+commit+push. The git commands make zero sense and are just about impossible to remember because they make no sense. In contrast, I've never felt a need for a cheatsheet doc for mercurial commands. > done rm -rf to start anew. Every single git user I've talked to has done that multiple times. Indeed! Of all the source control tools I've used, git is the only one where I regulary need to do a tarball of the src repo before doing any uncommon operations because there is a non-zero chance it'll go into some unrecoverable state and need to start over.
