Git has a competitor called Mercurial? If we're moving to a Distributed-VCS, should we go to Mercurial instead of Git?
IMO, no. There are several reasons, but the main one is that Git is winning in the marketplace.
You're kidding right? If not - let's switch Boost to Java - it's way more popular!
Using Java makes sense if Java is a suitable tools to your purposes. Clearly that's not the case of Boost. When in comes to versioning systems, however, both mercurial and git are suitable; I think choosing based on which is more popular is a good idea. I certainly don't want Boost to end up using a tool that few people are familiar with. Boost.Build is bad enough at that.
