This is why I've pushed for Mercurial.

I'd recommend Perforce or Subversion over Git any day of the week for any
project with a Windows port. However, if the choice is between Perforce,
Subversion, and Mercurial then there are a number of project-specific
aspects to consider before pushing for one over the rest. For the ANTLR
project(s), Mercurial appears to the best match given the size of the
project, number of contributors, and lack of a need for Perforce's advanced
access controls.

Hello guys,

>From my experience git seems a little faster than mercurial on very big
projects (i'm talking millions of lines of code). But is poorly ported on
windows (MSys Git sucks a little)

On the other hand, mercurial has much more tooling developped arround it
(flawless integration into windows with TortoiseHG, repo browsing through
apache with minimal configuration, etc)

Good choice then :)

Robin
