What do people think of switching from CVS to Mercurial[*] ?
In XEmacs, we recently switched development from CVS to mercurial. The choice pretty quickly boiled down to hg or git. I think mercurial is a bit simpler to use (it has fewer commands, but extension infrastructure if needed) and much more documented. Otherwise, they're quite equivalent in functionality. I can't remember exactly the final motivations for the decision, but if anyone is interested, I can dig into the review board list's archives.
