Hi there,

I am perfectly happy with SVN, which I think would already be a major
improvement over CVS and would suit our needs fine, but I would also agree
with using Hg.

I have more confidence in Hg than in Git, because to my mind a VCS tool
should just work, and not be so open ended as Git.

Also, as a Java Developer I think about projects as Open JDK for which they
are also using Hg, so I would be interested to learn about Hg more than
about Git.

Having not used any of the distributed VCS tools, I cannot talk from
experience, but on the Git vs Mercurial comparison it is stated that
"migrating from Subversion/CVS to git requires a lot of work. Linus has made
it clear that he disagrees with the fundamental ideas behind Subversion/CVS"

I have no idea if migrating from CVS to Mercurial is any easier, but that
could also be a consideration to take into account.

Greetings,
Edwin
