I’ve been fairly thoroughly exposed to Darcs, Mercurial, Git and Subversion now. The problems I’ve had have been hashed over in a thousand blog posts by others who tried all this out before me, so I won’t bother with tales of slowness, really slowness, or the revelation of git branching and stashing. Nor will I complain about git’s learning curve.

I just don’t think I’ll be using any of the others except for legacy codebases now. What finally sealed the deal was the realisation that git’s submodules were just svn:externals in disguise. Oh, and the fact that pretty much all the third party code I’m interfacing with these days is on Github.
