Indeed, with distributed version control all kinds of useful work
flows become easy and natural. It is easy to forget how complicated
things were with centralized systems. I don't want to go back.

I'm also happy with the particular choice of mercurial. It
fits my brain. Moreover, it seems more and more projects are
switching to it (or supporting it, like SourceForge). Python
itself, for example. Mercurial clearly is a winner.
