Why is there so much talk about git but little about mercurial
DenisM: Alas neither can support effective work in large repositories: at my day job we have about 100gb repository (just one branch), but most people only use 4Gb at a time. Except the build servers - they get the most of the stuff at once. Perforce lets you create partial enlistment and only get the 4gb you need, while both Git and Hg require pulling entire 100Gb over the network.There's been very little progress on these issues as well - both communities seem to be content with relatively small repositories. Sad.
