Mercurial, git

I use git with github projects. The command line is confusing, the
documentation is poor, and the internal architecture, AFAIK, is a ball
of string. Basically everything Mike said. Git is faster and
apparently more flexible than Mercurial, though this additional
flexibility provides nothing I've ever wanted to use.

I have looked at Mercurial but haven't tried it out much.
