Since it looks like things are leaning more towards mercurial at the
moment, I decided to check it out.  I hadn't previously paid much
attention to it since I could see that any projects were making use of
it and thought it was just too early in development to be practical.  I
have to admit I was very impressed with several aspects of it, but it
does seem to be lacking in a number of areas as well.  

I don't know if this feature is important to anyone but me, but hg
currently doesn't allow you to pull a specific revision, making testing
back through versions to find the point where something broke very
difficult:
