The only difference between Git and Mercurial at this level is that Mercurial does the equivalent of Git always storing changes in packs, instead of delaying delta compression until a garbage collect is issued. Both systems place the focus on full files, and neither is remotely close to darcs' storing of patches only, with inference of the resulting file based on patch algebra.
