Yes, Git has superpowers. We're a Git shop, and I haven't used Hg at
all, but after most of a year now using Git, it's a super powerful
tool. We migrated from SVN and have no regrets whatsoever.
I think the main consideration in choosing a SCM ought to be making
Rich's job manageable. The model of Clojure development is a lot like
Linux, with Rich as Linus. They both are the ultimate merge master,
and managing branches and merging is what Git is all about. Linus
wrote Git with this use case in mind. Hg and bzr probably have similar
capabilities. But I can attest to how easy Git makes it to manage some
amazingly tangled graphs.
