Git is immensely portable at least... I mean all you need is a remote SSH and you can push to that for remote/upstream. Now that doesn't include issue tracking or work items, etc.. but then again, pretty much all the options on that side are locked in. Compared to migrating a TFS repo, for example, it's night and day.

Mercurial has better cross platform support.

Okay... and the point? My argument was regarding platform lockin. As to cross-platform support, what platforms is Mercurial well supported on that git isn't? The big three (Windows, Linux, macOS) are well supported.
