My job uses Mercurial for scm

And?

I'm sorry

Congratulations for using one of the modern SCMs, I guess? And a sane one at that.

Are you also using the evolve extension?

@VaderNT Mercurial aka. babys first VCS

Coming from git it doesn't seem very sane to me. I keep all of my stuff backed up on git repos in a different directory because I don't trust hg

@12bitfloat you're confusing Mercurial for SVN.

@12bitfloat @arleigh you know, you're exactly one of the major reasons I don't use Git. You are a vile, toxic community.

Every damn time when the topic is "vcs x" you turn it into "x... VERSUS GIT!". And your prejudice is always "x is shit, because it's not Git!". It's YOU who create pages like whygitisbetterthanx so you can shit on other VCSs. It's YOU who cheer for assholes like this Jakub Narebski and friends, who scour the internet for vcs-related articles and blog post to poo poo the vcs or the author in the comment section.

Yes there are other VCSs besides holy Git. And, oh my gosh, they are actually good. Grow up and accept it. I hate people like you, and I want no part of it.

@VaderNT toxic much?

We went from zip files to mercurial to SVN.. to now using HelixCore

@VaderNT Don't forget that this is devRant. People have opinions

There's nothing wrong with Hg at all - arguably it would have actually won the version control war had it and git been on equal footing. With Linus / Linux behind Git though, it always had a massive publicity advantage.

Keeping your Hg repo in a git repo because you "don't trust Hg" makes precisely zero sense. If anything it should be the other way around - Hg prevents you from messing up in ways that Git will freely allow.
