As does Facebook, Google, and Python and a few not as big players. I've also heard rumours that the Facebook devs are trying to help other big companies move slow, gigantic git repos to faster gigantic hg repos.
Still, it's a bit hard for me to keep my chin up over hg when everyone seems to think that git is the ultimate word on DVCSes with no room for dissenting software. It warms my heart whenever I see another project using hg for real and not half-heartedly like Golang was doing... and now they're using git half-heartedly, oh well.
- drostie 12y agoFor what it's worth, I think Hg is an easier sell to mid-size companies transitioning from SVN to a DVCS. With Git, you need to absorb a certain "git mentality" to really understand what all of the commands are; with Hg it seems like I just need to say "you COMMIT and UPDATE from this hidden folder on your drive, then you PUSH and PULL from that hidden folder to these other hidden folders in other places." If it makes you feel better, at one point at this job I replayed a bunch of SVN changes through Hg because there were a bunch of independent updates that needed to be grouped into different branches, so that I could finally find out that the cause of the bugs in the code was that someone had changed `if (x == "true")` statements into `if (x)` statements...
