Mercurial gives you complete DAG of history with enough tools (revsets) to filter and view it in any way. Git lets you peep into the DAG of history through small windows, called 'branches'. This was the biggest annoyance for me when I tried git. You cannot even ask git for the id of the currently checked out revision, ie if you are not on a branch tip. And yes, the inconsistent cli is a big turnoff too.
