Personally, I like Mercurial better than Subversion because: * The distributed nature of hg encourages frequent checkins to your local repository without impacting users pulling from a "central" repo. * When you're ready to share your changes with others, you can either push to a "central" repo or tell teammates to pull from yours. * hg doesn't litter your entire tree with .svn subdirectories, which can inadvertently disappear depending on what tools you're using, causing havoc with subversion's ability to track your changes. There's just a single .hg directory in the root of your project (and maybe an .hgignore file if you need one.) That's just off the top of my head from what little I've used Mercurial after abandoning Subversion for my own things. Gregory -- Gregory K.
