You apparently think Mercurial has a nice CLI. Why not consider it? There's Bitbucket, which is a GitHub-like site. It's still fast, but much easier to do extensions for. The CLI is easier to understand, even if the git CLI has been cleaning up their act. There's a pretty good TortoiseHG, which is further along than the git version. And to prematurely counter the momentum argument: just don't go there. Mozilla, lots of Sun stuff (OpenJDK, NetBeans), corporations like Fog Creek went with Mercurial after extensive investigation. Python is fancying hg, too. I'm a Mercurial developer, and would be happy to dedicate some time to help with the migration. Cheers, Dirkjan
