Git has a competitor called Mercurial?  If we're moving to a Distributed-VCS, should we go to Mercurial instead of Git?  They're kind-of like CVS vs. Subversion, except I think they came up in parallel.  (While Subversion was designed as an updated CVS.)  I think Git was made up of a bunch of script hacks, while Mercurial was a regimented single program.
I don't have a preference, but I want to make sure we consider the rival options.
