I have not used hg and have used git a little so can't say I have a 
strong opinion between the two DVCS tools. Here is a good blog comparing 
the two:

High order bit decision is whether we should do a more modern 
distributed version control system like git or hg instead of svn. So far 
it sounds like the opinions are in the YES camp.

I can go with either hg or git. Lets see what others feel. Thanks.
