The "hassle" of typing "hg commit" once in a while is far outweighed by 
the convenience of being able to type "hg revert" when you break something.

As for copying, with Mercurial at least, everything in in the source 
directory, so there's no additional effort required.  Because you don't 
have all those dated directories floating around, where's way less data 
to copy.

The convenience of being able to use ssh to clone and synchronise 
between hosts and devices is a big win.
