My choice is mostly dictated by language. If I used Git, I probably
used CMake or premake. The only advantage of Git I see is GitHub.
Otherwise both are on par. Git has logical feature branches and dumb
repeated add/commit commands. Mercurial screws feature branches
concept, but MQs are awesome.

So -1, as will require migrating to GitHub and we still haven't done
anything awesome since last migration. =/
