> Github allowed you to choose the VC and Mercurial and Git were available

You're not thinking about BitBucket are you? I thought Github was always git only?

GitHub started with Git and added Subversion. Never Mercurial.

Oh that's right - I'd forgotten about that april fools joke that wasn't. It was just client compatibility right - the backend was still git from memory?

What I mean was that it wasn't like Bitbucket where you chose whether you wanted git or hg for starting your project.

BitBucket was Mercurial-only for quite some times before they added Git (when it was obvious that Git was winning).

I think Google Code provide both from the early day (along with Subversion), and maybe also SourceForge.

SourceForge added Git, Mercurial, and Bazaar in 2009. Google Code added Mercurial in 2009. Bitbucket and Google Code added Git in 2011.

I've used them all and Bazaar is my fav by far.
