You can learn Mercurial in three minutes if you have a background in command line administration and source control. But in a past life I have on several occasions found myself trying to train enterprises on how to use basic source control (as opposed to, say, SSHing into production systems manually and cp config.xml config.xml.bak), and failing to get the message through.
