I completely agree Mercurial is a lot better than Git. Though, I convinced my team to go with Git for multiple reasons: - Tools for Git on Win/Mac/Linux are much more developed IMO
- Github's "Network Graph" is going to be invaluable. I couldn't find a easy way to do that with Mercurial
- Github provides a lot of support for beginners to Distributed Versioning (like many programmers on my team)
- Git was just more popular all around...
Though I agree Mercurial is my favorite.
