Git vs. Mercurial

/*--- holy mAcar00ns!! --- */

Mercurial has no --amend option!

Git vs. Mercurial: Please Relax � Important Shock: "In contrast to git’s philosophy of providing a flexible platform built out of individual components, Mercurial is monolithic and (relatively) inflexible. Developers who like to keep their system clean will probably appreciate the fact that hg installs one binary in contrast to the 144 that make up git, and developers who think that git’s ability to edit your previous commits is moronic, unnecessary, and dangerous will appreciate the simplicity hg provides by omitting that particular feature.
Compared to git, hg’s branching, merging and tagging systems are equally powerful and only slightly slower. The only current flaw in Mercurial’s branching system – and sweet crouching Jesus, is it ever a huge flaw – is that deleting named branches is unbelievably difficult: as far as I can tell, the only way to do so is to learn and enable the patch-queuing system (about which I have heard raves, but have not had the time yet to sit down and grok) and use the hg strip command, or install the local-branches extension. Selenium currently recommend you use tags instead of branches, which practically redefines the concept of a half-assed solution."
