Subject: Re: Why git instead of mercurial?

I find it funny that your only point of comparison between git and
Mercurial is the technology with which said tool is implemented. Last
time I checked, the *only* time developers care about how something is
implemented is if it's Windows only (.NET, MFC). If the tool works,
people will use it.

How about an actual comparison of git and Mercurial functionality wise?
