I’ve been looking around again at DVCS comparisons. I’ve used Bazaar, then Git, then Bazaar, now I’m thinking of trying out Mercurial. I can’t say I’m really happy with any of them (sometimes I wish for the SVN days again) but I’d like to find one that I can settle on.
Normally the git vs bzr vs hg sites have lots of technical details about branching, documentation, Windows support, speed, etc. but today I found a particularly fun way to compare:
Mercurial is your smart friend who likes to explain things to you. Git is your genius coworker who sighs and rolls his eyes every time you ask him a question.
So how would you describe your favorite VCS?

The only thing I know is that RCS is gay that’s the way I will describe it. no offense for the guy who did it but i spent countless hours trying to recover files from screwed RCS shit…….
Sorry for my language but i had to say it, my company (big bank) are still using RCS for management how dumb is that, isn’t it ?
bzr is like your mother accepts anything (other vcs support) and cleans everytime (merging a branch results in one commit in standard log).
Hg is a small efficient rats nest. It’s very cosy to work with.
Git is still complex factory. Try using git.gnome.org why do i need to clone all branches? Especially the ones with last commit “created by csv2svn”
A workhorse. Bzr is easy to use, simple, gets the job done. I’m aware it’s not a racing horse but it’s other qualities means I’m spending less time being frustrated and more time being productive.
Git is my loyal workaholic personal assistant, always ready to give me whatever data I need right when I need it.
