Oddly enough, I've had the opposite experience. With git, I can do
whatever I want easily, but with Mercurial, some tasks seem to elude
me. (Is there a "Mercurial cheat-sheet for git users" somewhere? I'm
looking for things like creating an emailable patch from a commit,
pulling in the latest updates while keeping my own changes (I think
rebase is a hg plugin??), and ideally, some approximate equivalent to
gitk as a visual representation of the repo.)

But yeah. Either git or hg will serve you well, and Bazaar (bzr) also
has its advocates. Getting to know all three (or at least git/hg) to
at least some extent will serve you well - at least be comfortable
enough with the basics to clone someone else's project, pull changes
from upstream, and see where it's at.
