The Real Difference Between Git and Mercurial

Interesting. I've never considered that git doesn't give access -- it's always seemed right there to me, whether I want to tweak it by calling out to a git tool to do it, or doing it myself.

It does, but instead of giving you a library/API access, like Mercurial, it gives you command line access. I feel as though one is a little more black box than the other.
