This is what made me choose Mercurial in my recent search.

http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0374/

There is a tremendous amount of detail there. In summary, hg and git are bo=
th very good, and essentially equal in features. The only salient differenc=
e is that  hg is implemented in python, so they went with that. I did the s=
ame, and I'm quite happy. It's basically svn with the shiny new distributed=
 features added.
