That has not been even close to my experience. And I don't mean my *personal* experience. About seven years ago, the senior technical manager at my work chose hg over git. When he left to go to greener pastures, the dev team took about 30 seconds to to reverse his decision and migrate to git, after which the level of VCS-related screw-ups and queries went through the roof. To give you an idea of how screwed up things are, even though I'm not one of the developer team, and have never pushed a thing into the code repositories (I have pushed into documentation repos), somehow according to "git blame" I'm responsible for a bunch of code. (If I'd been paid for this code I didn't write, I wouldn't mind so much...) -- Steven “Cheer up,” they said, “things could be worse.” So I cheered up, and sure enough, things got worse. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
