I'm a big mercurial fan, I tried out git to be able to co
pare both fairly, but the first impression i got from git was that it required much more reading than hg to get a hang of it, even for basic stuff. Or maybe it's just that the mercurial documentation/first steps docs is more clear.
You would be correct. I've been using Git longer than Mercurial, but I feel that I have a better grasp of how to use Mercurial. That said, Git is exponentially more powerful in my experience. I'm rather enjoying getting to know it.
