	Here's a comparison. Although I am partial to Mercurial, I have
tried to be fair. Some of the points are in favor of Mercurial, some
in favor of Git, and some are simply differences I noted (six of
one, half a dozen of the other):

	An extra point I did not raise at the time: Git is deliberately
engineered to be as different from CVS/SVN as possible (quoting
Wikipedia: "Take CVS as an example of what /not/ to do; if in doubt,
make the exact opposite decision"). IMO this makes it a poor choice
when migrating from SVN. Mercurial (or Bazaar) would be much more
comfortable.
