>From a technical point of view GIT has more options, more power but a less intuitive interface (especially for those coming from SVN).
Git also (at least historically) has more problems on windows. I did not have any problems installing it last October when I used it on windows for a month, it was a single installer but it has some scary warnings.
There has been a lot of work with JGit and EGit lately so I would be curious to see how the experience with these are.
HG is great when coming from SVN because the interfaces are very similar. But it drives me crazy because I am used to the power of GIT. Mind you if you don't know GIT and are just comparing it to SVN it is fabulous.

I am also curious about the trade offs!
At the moment we are experimenting; but it really looks like all the other PSC members other then myself have started migrating to GIT or HG for their own work.
For me I am fine with the obvious disruption of workflow (ie I don't expect a next gen cvs to work the same as svn). I do however respect ease of use ...
I am also a bit worried about developers on windows; earlier experience with GIT involved installing cygwin. I understand there is a windows port of GIT now so it is time to re evaluate.
Chances are for open source developers we are all going to be using both get and hg - so the uDig mailing list should choose based on their preference.

Hi Jesse,
In my experience, the move to a next gen VCS like git for parralll
distributed dev is a very good thing. Here is a good tutorial based on
mercurial (aka hg) but many concepts apply to git:

Slightly off-topic but I am curious what tradeoffs you see between git
and mercurial (aka hg) for a next gen vcs.
Thanks.

Since GIT download the entire repository you might be
interested in the --depth parameter that allows you to just take the
top few commits from the repository:
will download the last 3 revisions of the repository.

Hi,
I have updated the git hub repository with the latest from
uDig trunk. I was wondering if any one is willing to try it not.
One important thing to note is that you can use SVN or GIT
with github now. So if you are nervous about trying to learn git then
you can still use SVN.
That link has some details about it. The main caveat is that
you will have to ask me, Andrea, Jody or Mauricio to add you as a
collaborator. Everyone who want to work on trunk will need:
- A ssh private/public key pair
- A github account.
When that is done it is very easy to add you as a collaborator
on github.
Any interest?
