Mercurial 2.8 Released

I feel Mercurial's commands are more intuitive than Git's, especially to former SVN users. Functionally, they're so similar it doesn't matter. This is why I love Kiln Harmony--I can work on a Git team and use Mercurial. Kind of like I can work on a dev team that uses Emacs while I use Vim. It shouldn't matter.

I work in a company that uses Git, plus Subversion for legacy stuff. I use Mercurial with hg-git and hgsubversion. There are occasional hiccups, but they mostly work like a charm. I'm happy because i get to use Mercurial, and my colleagues are happy because they have someone who can help them out by running complex revset queries!

Kiln Harmony was awesome, as I'm one of two developers in a team of eigth who prefers Git instead of Hg. Then we decided to use sub-repoes/submodules, and kiln harmony can't handle that, and our other team members simply WONT use git :(

I am totally with you on this, albeit kiln harmony is only available for managed hosting.
