Re: Why you should care about version control, and why I suggest git

I've liked git mostly for its amazing automerging system--yes Hg and SVN have merge tools and auto stuff, but git is by far the best.
Could you elaborate? In my experience, Mercurial (AKA Hg) is pretty much the same as git when it comes to merging.

In general I think git has no advantage over Mercurial, the only difference being Mercurial is easier to use (Also, Mercurial is more space efficient than uncompressed git repo's, and compressing takes FOREVER).
