It's more than just command line stuff; Google did an extensive comparison that more people should look at: http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/DVCSAnalysis

That comparison is over 4 years old. Google code now supports git, and most of the arguments against git are either spurious ("git history isn't sacred!")[1] or have been improved since then (better windows support, smart http protocol, single user-visible binary, etc.).
[1] dvcs history locally should not be sacred, because rewriting experimental branches is necessary for clarity and to avoid polluting the main repository branches. dvcs history on a central repo can be made sacred with git by disabling non-ff commits and disabling deletes.
