Mercurial losing the DVCS wars is mostly irrelevant so long as HgGit[1] works. [1] http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/HgGit http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/Hg

  HgGit is very slow; and it's hard to use as a real git replacement - I suspect, anyhow. I use it from time to time when I need some specific feature (like mercurial's lovely history query language) that's tricky in git, but I've never tried it as a real replacement, so maybe it's workable nevertheless - have you tried using hggit to really collaborate on a repo actively?

    I use it as a real Git replacement, every day at the office. We have small teams and many mostly small repositories, so i am fetching something like <20 changes into each of <5 repositories every day. I have no complaints about performance or correctness. The main pain is interacting with build systems that quite naturally think in terms of Git hashes; rather than hg diff -c 244 --stat I have to write hg diff -c 'gitnode("2a33c401")' --stat Or whatever. Not a big deal, just mildly tedious.
