 I'm  biased  because I don't really know Hg, but Git has been making
*huge* strides in becoming much more user friendly.

In addition adding commands to Git is trivial (just name a script
`git-foo` in your path, and `git foo` becomes available), it's
*incredibly* fast, and unlike `Moe` I like it's branching better than
any other system I've worked with, specifically I actually *branch*
now where as with sv[kn] I've found nothing but pain there.
