A short note to say that I share an opinion with most of what you said
on git and mercurial. I started from mercurial on Windows (because at
the time git was everything BUT cross-platform), but when I switched
to Linux and started using git I gave up on mercurial and I must
saying that when I have to use it now I find it clumsy, limited and
irrational in some of its stuff (tags being the most obviously
ridiculously implemented thing). So I would really prefer Ruby went
the git way.

As far as cross-platformness goes, I have never used git on Windows,
but from what I read on the git ml the msys port is perfectly usable
these days, aside from the default choice of automatic conversion of
crlf which introduces more bugs than it tries to resolve. There is
also now a TortoiseGit project which I hear is (at least minimally)
functional.

My two cents, and my vote for git.
