Git versus Mercurial for .NET developers?

Question

I\'ve been wondering what is the better DVCS for .NET developers? From reading various information it has sounded like Mercurial works better on Windows, but other information

Answer 1

Although git is a natural draw for unix/linux users, it has been getting better for windows and .net users. mercurial however, may be a better choice between the two. unlike centralized dev, where there's a plethora of choices, there are very few "true" dvcs tools out there. as far as i know, there's only one commercial system, plastic scm and the two aforementioned oss tools. i have come from the clearcase side and have experience with pvcs, p4 and other traditional scm tools. i tripped upon plastic, maybe through this site and from what i have evaluated, seems to do well from a visual standpoint. if you're more of a windows shop as you say, it may be plastic, mercurial, and git in that order. if you're more unix/linux, git is probably the first logical choice. hope this helps!
