Very nice distributed version control system

The Mercurial team has paid close attention to what has worked with competing packages in the past from a user interface perspective. Thus the learning curve is minimized so you can learn the tool separately from learning the internals of distributed version control management. In general, the user experience is very good, and if you know SVN you can get started right away, learning as you go. For this reason, even though I use git at some customer's locations, I use git or svn, Mercurial is my own tool of choice.

Mercurial is easy, flexible and reliable.

Mercurial is very powerful distributed VCS with very simple branching model. It is excellent for small projects with relatively short history as well as awesome for big enterprise level projects. One more "feature" of mercurial is it's mercurial-server - very simple and reliable way to organise private repository server.

Distributed version control with some regrets

Mercurial HG is what is called a distributed version control system (DVCS) that let you develop a repository completely offline. Basically when you clone a repository the full revision history is copied locally and you're enabled to add your own commits, even if your collaborators are working on their own clones. It has a syntax that is easier to remember compared to git and works flawlessly on all the major platforms.

What is Mercurial Open Source Project?

Mercurial is a fast, scalable distributed version control system (DVCS) designed to efficiently handle projects of any size while providing an easy-to-use and robust interface for tracking the evolution of source code, managing multiple branches, and merging divergent repositories. Distinguished by its performance and flexibility, Mercurial is built for developers who need a dependable tool to manage complex development projects. The tool features a distributed architecture, which means that every developer has a full and self-contained repository on their local machine, facilitating offline work and decentralized collaboration.Mercurial supports an extensible framework for enhancements and can integrate with numerous other development tools. It's known for its straightforward CLI commands and an easy learning curve for new users, making it accessible for both small and large teams. The project's website, https://mercurial.selenic.com/, serves as a central hub for downloading the software, accessing documentation, joining the user community, and following development updates. The site also provides resources to help both beginners and experienced users make the most of Mercurial’s features.
