  In XEmacs, we recently switched development from CVS to mercurial. The
choice pretty quickly boiled down to hg or git. I think mercurial is a
bit simpler to use (it has fewer commands, but extension infrastructure
if needed) and much more documented. Otherwise, they're quite equivalent
in functionality. I can't remember exactly the final motivations for the
decision, but if anyone is interested, I can dig into the review board
list's archives.
