I wonder if SourceTree will also drop Mercurial support at some point? That would be unfortunate.

I've been assuming so; the official page overwhelmingly describes it, explicitly, as a git tool, it's not like it has broad support (ex. for CVS, SVN, etc.), and honestly in their shoes I'd probably want to remove all that code that no longer is useful for working with any of their products.
