A last word from me on the subject : unanimous is certainly not the right
term here, if you consider that at least Rich disagrees (and unanimity
implies "all people", not even one let apart).
And you can also count on me, Meikel Brandmeyer (author of VimClojure),
maybe Paul Drummond (?) that pointed to python's decision to use Mercurial.

But if 'unanimity' is not the right word, I admit that it seems that
'majority' would be.

Anyway, since I don't want to start or continue a pointless DVCS comparison
war, I won't even give any argument here in favor of mercurial or git.

Rich is the main maintainer of clojure source, just let him use the DVCS he
wants. And really, it's not that difficult to checkout a working copy of
svn, hack on it, and do a svn diff > mypatch.diff to send him when ready (so
more complex management cases may well be easier with DVCs in the
contributor side, of course) ...
