Re: Try Mercurial, not only git

I'm surprised you found the hg developers arrogant; in my experience the hg community has been a rather friendly one both to new developers and to users.

I'd agree; they've been very friendly and open. Speed-wise, I think things have certainly improved over two years -- certainly most reports I've read place mercurial and git as being broadly similiar in terms of speed. Mercurial seems to edge out git in terms of being portable (problems with running git on Windows is cited a lot); git seems to be developing a few features that those who use a Linux-like development model appreciate.

Eric Raymond has been doing an interesting overview of the VCS scene at: http://thyrsus.com/hg/uvc/ for anyone else interested in comparing these projects.
